Frog: ET Hop home!
Flamingos: Zoos are often homes to animals who can't survive in the wild, due to some permanent injury or illness, say, losing a limb in a leg-hold trap or something like that. This is exactly what happened to each member of this flock of one-legged flamingos.
Pheasant: This foppish little pheasant reminded me of a line I once came across in a book describing literature of the 18th and 19th century: "Dandy: Punk before the fact."
Gilas: It was getting around noon and I got hungry, so I went to the Zoo café and had some Gila Monster soup.
