We had heard about how good the Cali Zoo was but had never visited it in the many trips we have taken here to visit Maria's relatives. Hence, one pleasant Sunday we visited the Zoo and were very impressed by the grounds, the animals shown which looked well maintained and many of which were "the smallest" or "the largest" or "the most rare". Many of the animals were from Colombia which boasts one of the largest biodiversities in the world in animal life and vegetation. Though we don't like to see wild animals in captivity we realize how much people learn about their habitat, whether they are in danger of extinction and the importance of preserving nature for our own and the earth's sake.

Check out the pictures we took in our "Photo Gallery" in an album called "The Cali Zoo". An animal that caught our attention a lot was "El Titi Le�n" which is the smallest primate in the Americas - it only weighs 140 grams! Can you translate to ounces?
