Other areas like sports and music always captured my attention and imagination more than wild animals. Perhaps that was because I could actually engage in those areas while, for me, wild animals could only be viewed from afar. I wasn’t raised on a farm, so the only animals I ever encountered up close were dogs and cats. Perhaps my experience wasn’t unique because zoos have evolved to bring their guests closer to the animals. On our recent visit to the Indianapolis Zoo we were allowed to feed the giraffes sweet potatoes. While the boys were scared, each bravely held out the snack and soon had the big guy eating out of their hands.
