We had a great time at the zoo. The animals were extremely active and we had fun learning about them. One new exhibit at Lincoln Park Zoo is a monkey habitat-we learned the meaning of that word, too "habitat". As we stood watching them jump, run and swing a student solemnly turned to me and said "I know the name of this monkey, my brother told me." The kids all leaned in to hear the name "It's the "red-butt monkey" he said in all seriousness. The kids all gazed in wonder at this font of wisdom and I (with a straight face), said" well, he does have a red butt, but he is actually a snow monkey".
