Well finding them like this sounds fun! I thought you meant with my hand, that sounds crazy.

Whatsername takes the stick with the large piece of raw meat and slides it through the openings of the cage. The big male lion walks over takes one sniff, looks at her and then eats the food before him.

That was fun! I love lions! I wish they truly were big kitty cats, I'd take one home and snuggle with it all night long.

You mean I could have a lion of my own? That would be worth anything they charge. You sure they can be trained to not eat people?

Whatsername looks back at the lion who she just fed and imagines cuddling up beside him. She would never be cold again with a big lion by her side.

I should just start my own zoo with trained animals that I could play with. I would if those two gorillas would have let me play soccer with them.

They smell? What do they smell like? I can't smell them from here.

Whatsername thinks for a moment. Tries to come up with something fun to look at. Maybe Archy likes snakes. She personally hated snakes but she'd go along with him and take a peek.

Do you want to go to the snake house now? It's just around that bend there. We can check out all the slithery things.

This being a casual day for me, I walk around in tight jeans hugging my trim and smooth thighs, and sneakers, and a pink shirt, clung to me showing off my perfect form, and ample breasts. I notice something I hadn't before.. a Zoo and an aquarium. Eh... was looking for something to do anyways... I make my way to the ticket gate and pay my money, giving a smile and a thank you to the ticket collector.

​Hmm, a crossroads. The zoo is on one side and the aquarium on the other. Tough choice...I choose the zoo first, and plan on spending the entire day here. Lions, tigers.. oh my, as I come up to the african exhibit. I watch as they pace their enclosure, looking so majestic and beautiful. Of course not making a good pet , but a domesticated one would be fun.. I wonder if Vis would let me have one.. ha ha.

I see a sign saying not to feed them, and looking into my empty hands, I wouldn't have anything to feed them with. Wondering what idiot would even try that to a wild animal.. shit would be breakfast in no time probably, with the animals' love of um raw fresh meat! I read what the other signs say about each anima, like the habitat, mating preferences, and food. Hmm, nothing I really didn't know already.. shrugs. 

I make my way through all of the animal houses, the north american, and whatnot. I don't know what my favorite would be, but they were a joy to look at, but sad at the same time, since there were bars and a certain amount of space.. kinda not natural really. I mean they are fed but they lose things I think not getting the thrill of the hunt out in the wild.

There was an easy path straight to the aquarium. There was all sorts of marine animals like sharks, fish, dolphins, and even some jelly fish. I read about them all as well, and stood there at each tank just watching them.. laughs sometimes I was thinking if that shark somehow escaped.. it would make for a good movie, or something. there were so many pretty colors of coral, and other sea life. I had never been in the ocean, so I was amazed at what I was seeing. I blinked a second, thinking I saw a dead body in the shark tank a second.. shrugs, must be my over active imagination.

After spending a good part of the day , I make my way towards the exit, with my stomach grumbling. Shit! I forgot to eat, but those prices would kill a person in that park! I decide, once I make it back to my car, that I need to find a place to shut up my stomach, that is not related to anything I have seen here today. I look around for a place with salads, as that seems to not be of anything I have seen.. although meat does sound good atm.. and some good alcohol..hmmm.. decisions, decisions.....what's a girl to do?

Driving around all night wanting to relax and think Christian finally pulls over and closes his eyes.  After a few hours he awakes to the sound of people parking there cars near by.  Looking around he realizes that he parked at the Detroit Zoo.    Shaking his head in disbelief then rethinking that maybe just maybe he could get away for just one day as a gangster and be a civilian and enjoy a day of non violence.

Getting out of the car he looks over himself and smiles that his suit is still somewhat pressed.  Walking over to the cage he buys a ticket and then heads to the concession stand and buys some popcorn.  He looks at the map and quickly knows exactly where he wants to go.    He quickly heads towards the big cats exhibit.

Wondering if he will actually see a lion and maybe a black panther or a cheetah.  He recalls that every time his father would take him he never saw the lions unless they were sleep or the cheetahs.  He remembers seeing the skinny tigers and the polar bears playing in the water.  He recalls the birds exhibit but never like the birds. 

Then a small smile comes over his face as he see's he is already at the big cats exhibit.  His first sight is of a tiger and he laughs out loud as this tiger is exactly how he remembered tall and skinny.  Shaking his head he stares at the cat and then reads the cats bio before moving on towards the next cat.

The man walks into the park and over to the ticket counter and asks for one Adult ticket. He then buys it and walks through the big gates into the park towards the first exhibit, The African Exhibit.

TheDude wakes up on a bench close to where the penguins are located in the zoo. He sits up and looks around. 

"I think I may have had a few too many white russians last night. Why else would I wake up in a zoo, let alone in Detroit."

As he sits there he watches the penguins slide around and dive into water, smiling as he watches them.

"Kinda looks like little butlers with their tuxedo's on."

He chuckles as he continues to enjoy the penguin shenanigans.

Elsa walks in and looks at the price sign and thinks to herself damn this is gonna be a good day!

Excuse me, Ms whatsername, I was wondering what live shows would you have going on for today? Is there any dolphin shows today? 

Are there any exhibits where we can feed the animals? 

She looks at the maps and sees Pandas and smiles happily 

Whatsername checks her schedule.

Why yes Elsa there is a dolphin show, it starts in 20 minutes. Would you like some company? The zoo is starting to get busier now, I'd love to go and see the dolphins and maybe one of these gentlemen will join us.

Whatsername grabs herself a container of popcorn, watching Christian walk around with his has given her the craving.

Sounds lovely! Of course, company is always nice when your seeing a dolphin show.  I was wondering if we could touch the dolphins at all?

Elsa looks at the container of popcorn as her mouth waters

Mmmmm! The smell of fresh popcorn makes everybody's mouth water.

TheDude hears someone talking about popcorn and thinks to himself.

"I gotta get me some of that."

He walks around wanting popcorn and a stiff drink as he notices there's a dolphin show starting soon, the thought of that makes him want some tuna. He heads on over and takes a seat all the way in the back as he enjoys his popcorn.

DiCopo smiles as he walk past the male lion watching as the male lion walk past the lionesses.  Then DiCopo walked down toward the Panthers and then to the bears exhibit.   Looks at the different bears as he thinks back on how he got started in the life.  He shakes his head as he watches the couples walk past and children running past him if not bumping into him.  The Zoo seemed to swell with people within minutes.

He looks at his watch then starts heading towards the monkeys another exhibit that he loved as he see's the colorful baboons.  He studies the baboon as they seem to have a certain strength and boldness when they move.  He then looks at the chimps and the rest noticing that a few hours have gone by.  He keeps walking until he spots a bench to take a seat.

Sitting there he manages to drift off in deep thought of the days when he was young.

Buzzsaw walks past the Asian exhibition and stands there watching the pandas. He smiles as he watches them roll around and play fight on the ground, whilst another one sits there chewing on some bamboo.

He decides to go watch the snakes, he always wanted see one up close. As he's standing there watching snakes of all shapes and colors he thinks it could be cool to have snakes of his own, but realizes they might swallow his shoes whole.

A few minutes later he decides to check out the walruses, taking a seat as he watches the majestic creatures.

After he enjoyed watching the majestic walruses, Buzzsaw headed over to the birdhouse to watch the exotic birds. He stopped by a big red parrot watching it as it sat there eyeing the people that walked by and occasionally repeating what people said.

"Heya bird."

The parrot just looks at him. Buzzsaw decides to walk over to some of the smaller birds, he watches them fly around in multiple colors.

"This is a nice way to relax, but I sure wish they sold beer here."

He knew he didn't get to Detroit enough, even though the distance was short as was time to enjoy his time here.  He needed to learn more about the area and the clientel as he wandered the streets and attractions listening to the locals conversations.

Looking at a deal to come to the zoo and aquarium he grinned as the thought of blending in to the crowd as well as the mix of people could make some interesting info.

Entering the zoo he stooped to save as he let of a fragile voice to save a dollar on the entrance as he grinned getting inside.  Looking round at the various animals he thought about the idea of a lion on the front porch for visitors or a moat of crocodiles as he grinned cheekily.

Looking round the aquarium he smiled more realising he really needed a giant tank of tropical fish just to show his wealth in his house and a focal point for visitors.  Walking away he scribbled his thoughts on his note pad, which quickly headed back into his shirt pocket.
