AND WHERE WE SEE THEM
Suzanna Hammond: My favorite animal is the manatee! Manatees are fully aquatic mammals that live in warm climates. I like them because they are gentle and slow-moving and mostly plant-eating. They mostly sleep, eat, and swim, which sounds like a dream to me! They are also known as sea cows, which I find funny! Another cool fact is that during early sea voyages, manatees were often mistaken for mermaids due to their tails. (This sparked my collection of mermaid and manatee merch, haha.) I have taken many a trip to the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium over the years to see their manatees. They look so peaceful floating around and eating their cabbage. I would love to go to Florida one day and swim with manatees!
Beth Ryan: I love all animals and I don’t like to play favorites! That said, I can say that I was fascinated to see a llama grazing along the Inca trail on our trip to Machu Picchu in Peru. I prefer seeing animals in their natural habitat, if possible. Llamas, along with alpacas, graze along many hillsides in South America.
Barb Chaffins: My favorite zoo animal is the red panda, because they are just so ridiculously cute! My favorite zoo is the Toledo Zoo, because it’s compact. The animals generally have enough room in their exhibits. It’s compact in that you don’t have to walk a long way between sections like you do at Columbus Zoo. You can spend your time looking at animals, not just walking! They also have a great aquarium and aviary.
