Okay, this is really random, too, but what is everybuggy's favorite animal? As you may already know, I like the bongo. Google it if you don't know what they are. :)

My favorite animals are elephants, monkeys, and dogs. I also really like chinchillas. A bongo sounds really weird! =)

Google or Wikipedia "bongo". No one knows what they are! The world needs to know! They have them at the Denver Zoo and at the Disney Animal Kingdom in Orlando, FL. They're awesome! Umm, if anybuggy plays Zoo Tycoon, then you should know what they are. I don't know how else you would, though, because you don't really see Disney making movies about something like Bonnie the Bongo. =:) They're really cool, orange-and-white striped, hooved mammals that live in the rainforests of Africa. Their horns are extremly long, and when running from predators, they lift their heads back, so their horns don't get caught in trees. =:) Sometimes, old bongos get marks on their backs, from where the horns rubbed off fur! Google it!!! =:) =:)

I did Google bongos. They're really cool! Did you know that moose also lift their heads back?

Aren't they cool??? I never knew that about moose!!! If you google picture "bongo baby Denver," you'll see the bongos that I saw (and took an amazing picture of!!!).

I Googled "baby bongo Denver" and it pulled up a thing to a newspaper clip about him (the baby bongo) and it was soo cool!! They even had a little movie about him! Like his first step and his fist day outside!!!! Did you know his name was Mkono? (moo kono) I LOVE his ears!!

When did you see him? He is soooo CUTE!!

I saw him around the end of July this year. We were on a trip out west and started in Denver then drove up around and back to Denver. We went to the zoo the second time we were there. It's a really cool zoo. You should go there some time. There are a ton of cool animals there. It has another one of my favorite animals: the, okay, let's see if I can do this, Przewalski's [wild] horse. 'Wild' isn't always in the name, but I'm used to it being in it. Some other of my favorite animals they have are red pandas, reticulated giraffes (though I like the Masai giraffes better), tigers, zebras, kangaroos, okapis (similar to bongos), orangutans, sea horses, lion fishes, penguins, flamingos, and so much more. If you go to the Denver Zoo's website, you'll see that there's a section on animals & plants. On each animal section, you'll see a list to show all of the animals there, so you can see what I saw. It's the best zoo that I've ever been to!!!!!!!!!! =:) =:) =:) =:)

You live closer to there than I do! You really, really should go there! Have you ever been to Colorado? It's my third favorite state, after Maine and Florida.

Whoops! I clicked on the wrong name! Oh well!
(November 6, 2008 - 6:20 pm)
Who were you repling to?
(November 7, 2008 - 9:38 am)
On the first reply, I was talking to you. On the second, I was sort of correcting myself.

Oh! I LOVE chinchillas, too! They are so cute and fluffy! Do you have one??!!? I used to know a kid who had one. He brought it to Sunday School!!!!! "('.')" -that's supposed to be a chinchilla...
(October 28, 2008 - 4:58 pm)
No, I don't have a chinchilla, but I wish I did!
