. Not only is it April Fools' Day, they are celebrating Caesar Chaves Day here. No school today. The line for the zoo was very long, but moved fast. The San Diego zoo is unique in that it is a non profit enterprise. All proceeds from the admissions, restaurants, gift shop, along with donations go to support the zoo and it s research. One of the exciting projects currently is their attempt to save the white horned Rhinoceros. There are only two in existence, and neither are able to breed. The zoo has a bank of sperm and eggs from many species of animals. They are going to attempt to inseminate another form of Rhino with the egg and sperm of the white horned variety. The surrogate will help the species from going extinct. They also have an elephant and koala hospital. It was fascinating!

We had a warm, sunny day. We road the double deck bus and road the skyway gondola. We saw the polar bears, the grizzly bears, koala bears, monkeys, elephants and so many more. I was said to hear that the Panda s that have been in San Diego since they were born, are going back to China April 27, 2019. Something about our President imposing tariffs on China so they want their bears back. The lines are always the longest to see the Pandas. Since so many of these animals are nocturnal, they were doing just what they should be sleeping. I was happy to see them at all!
