Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My!

This past weekend I made a trip to the Brasov zoo with Marion, Vivien, Rachel, Henriet, and Emma (she wouldn't get in the picture). We had a lot of fun walking around and looking at all the animals there. They had some strange things in cages, like chickens and pigeons, but for the most part there were normal animals.

One of the strangest things we noticed was how close you could get to the animals, at least to the dangerous ones. You could literally reach out and pet the bears and the lions if you wanted to. We saw one guy get up close and personal with a bear - it was a little scary! None of us were brave enough to pet the angry animals, so we stayed clear. It was a really fun and cheap way to spend the afternoon.
