Wonder Kingdom – Newcrest Zoo

“What’s for dinner, mommy?”

“I’m going to try a rack of lamb!”

Hearing about lamb made Aria remember something. “Mommy?”

“Yes, my darling?”

“Are there any monkeys here?”

Leliana thought it was a strange question but answered anyway. “I don’t believe so. Monkeys typically live tropical areas.”

“Oh.”

Aria went back to whatever she was doing for a few minutes and then revisited her question. “What about coyotes?”

“Heavens! I should hope not!”

Again, Aria left it alone and came back to it again. “Owls?”

“Aria, I don’t believe there hardly any animals in this area minus birds, bees, butterflies, and other insects. Why do you ask?”

“Sometimes I think I hear animal noises at night. If I really listen, sometimes it sounds like they’re in the house…in your room! It’s scary.”
