Penn State Chics Dig Nerds

First, we saw some baby rheas that had just hatched from their eggs. Then, we walked around to see the bears, lions, tigers, zebras, monkeys, and cappybaras. After the safari ride, I had made Amie come and get a drink at our pavilion.  She was upset at me for making her go.  What I did not realize was that she had not drank much all day. Unfortunately, when we entered the pettting zoo, she showed major signs of heat exhaustion, which was caused by dehydration.  I realized what was going on, but it scared Amie a lo...
