Our visit to The Living Desert a few days ago took us back to the African section. Once we tore ourselves away from the naked mole rats, we stopped and watched a Greater Kudu (huge antelope with three foot curly horns), a few ostriches and many giraffes wonder the savannah. The Kudu stopped at the water hole and we thought a giraffe was coming that way. I couldn't wait to see him do the acrobatics required to get his head down to the water but he gave that a miss and wondered over to a ridge at the side of the enclosure where he could reach over the little fence and have a sip from the drinking fountain (a sprinkler head dripping water). Eight or nine feet of legs are hidden.

Next stop was at the food preparation station where menus were displayed. We chose badger food for our lunch....
