We went to a bird show and an elephant show. Did you know that a male elephant weighs about 12,000 pounds? We also learned that the elephants feet have to be checked everyday for rocks or other things that can get stuck in their feet and cause pain and get infected. They are such large animals. 
They are not able to look down at their feet and one of the most difficult tricks that an elephant can do is walk on a balance beam because they cannot see where they are going.
One of our favorite exhibits to watch were the gorillas. They were very playful and creative. There was always a crowd of people gathered around them.
