Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium (AZA) recently hosted an after-hours member's night that included a musical rendition of Me...Jane. It told the story of Jane Goodall’s childhood and how her adventures in the natural world began by exploring her own backyard.

Frankfurt Zoo

by meepers(she/her) near Frankfurt, Hesse, GermanyJuly 24, 2026Gave 4 Hours for Earth

Went to a close EAZA zoo on a date with my my boyfriend last month and got to see the both sumatran tiger cubs from last year (now bigger obviously). Haven't been to this zoo in 16 years but I liked how they improved their signage and enclousures. Video is one of their aquariums.

Picked up some yummy local produce and also took Camden for a walk to see the local “tuna art” that’s being auctioned off to support the community. For all the manicure appreciators I included my hydrangea nails too.iii
