Chiang Mai Zoo

No animal is more dignified than the capybara.

The zoo aquarium had a open-from-the-top ‘touch tank’ with rays in it and then, later, an identically designed ‘dangerous animals’ tank with lionfish and morays.  There was a velvet rope around this tank in order to discourage me from petting the lionfish.

In case of genetically engineered supersharks with cutting tools press button.

There is a baby panda at this zoo which is a very big deal.  Lots of people were sitting around waiting for it to poke its face out in public… while waiting you can watch it on closed-circuit TV.  I got impatient and didn’t see the baby in person, but Mr. Panda was eating next door.
