May 15 2020 - Team Solo Sports vs Drive-Thru Zoo

eam sports at a distance can start soon.  Which are those sports? There's an article already for that.  Of course, we think of tennis.

Then there's solo running, cycling and walking.  Fencing!  And beloved golf - the courses are set to open next week. Don't forget there's gymnastics.  We could join the circus now.  

And what about this drive-through experience? The Toronto Zoo plans to reopen with drive-through experience.  That would be perfect as a giraffe was born this week - and there's nothing as cute as a baby giraffe.  Cute pictures are HERE.

“The pre-booked driving route would allow guests to see the Zoo’s animals from the comfort and safety of their own vehicle along a 3.4 kilometres route,” the zoo said in a statement.


They are also fund-raising to feed the animals - last month they raised over $500,000 - enough to cover six months worth of food for the 5,000 animals. 

The animals have been getting bored, and the zoo has taken to entertaining them in special ways - taking the llamas for a walk, giving the hyena a bubble bath, and the penguins a field trip.  You can see these at #ClosedButCaring. There are posts from zoos all over the place (and a few other places using the hashtag.)

Pictures fro the spring garden today - with the weeping cherry and the Japanese spirea bush.
