People forget the good that
zoos do. If it weren't for zoos,
we would have so many species
that would be extinct today...
By now everyone probably knows
that I love zoos. Kristianstand has
a zoo I have always wanted to go to.
I finally made it to the zoo. It is
Norway's most frequently visited
attraction, covering an area of
60 hectares or 148,263 acres.
The zoo has a famous chimpanzee
I learned about just recently. Julius
is a famous chimpanzee, often referred
to as a monkey by the general public
born on December 26, 1979, at the
Kristiansand Zoo and Amusement
Park (Dyreparken) in southern
Norway. I had to see Julius.
Rejected by his mother as an infant,
he was raised by the zoo director's
family and human handlers, becoming
a massive national pop-culture icon
with his own TV shows and hit song.
store for me. He's excited about it,
and would not give me a clue as to
what to expect. I don't like surprises.
I always want to know. But....
The best part of the journey is the
surprise and wonder along the way...
