Saturday after cleaning the church we went to the Zoo Safari. Sao Paulo has a regular zoo, but Eric thought this one looked much cooler and I agreed. Luckily we found the place. It was a bit tricky, and one sign was turned the wrong way, but we found it. It was in the middle of a neighborhood, so if you didn't know what you were looking for it would have been easy to miss.
We all had a great time looking at and feeding some animals. The biggest hit was the camel putting it's head in the car and the girls feeding the deer.
As a child I had the biggest fear of peacocks. I am not sure where it really came from, but once at the Boise Zoo I remember being surrounded by peacocks with all their feathers out. To this day I think they are beautiful, but I prefer not to be out walking among them, so I was glad to be in the car instead of walking. There were a lot of peacocks. Later we saw a whole bunch of white peacocks too, but I didn't get a picture of them.
We saw lots of animals and had a great time!

I didn't get any up close pictures of this ostrich because I was sure it was going to stick it's head in our car and peck me, so I rolled up my window. It was pretty friendly:)
See the crocodiles!
Eric was a little braver with this ostrich on his side of the car. He even feed it.
One of the rules was when in the monkey exhibit to only have your windows rolled down 2 inches and there was also a reminder in the map that monkeys bite. Well I guess they have had a problem with people breaking rule #1 and getting bitten or something because to make sure we didn't roll down our window while in the monkey exhibit one of the workers put a piece of scotch tape across both sides of the front and back windows. When we got to the other side another worker took it off. We still aren't sure what the penalty for breaking the tape was.
We drove right next to this camel. Eric was really hoping they aren't like horses and kick because if so he would have had a great shot at the car.
I have never seen a camel with so much hair.
The little van puts into perspective how big they are.

We didn't feed either of the big camels, but the baby camel right after them. I was afraid the camel was once again going to try and lick me since it put it's head in the car.
