Field Trip Bonus

Another interesting thing that happened at the field trip was when my daughter and her friends approached the enclosure for the Lowland Nyala. She somehow had put herself in charge of dispensing information, so the other kids asked her what kind of animal it was. She runs over to the sign and shouts, "it's a Lowlife Nyala."



The infamous Lowland Nyala.


"I think I dated her once or twice," I responded.

Images flooded my mind of this deer-like animal just laying around all day, smoking pot and hollering at girls as they pass, lying to its probation officer and failing to pay child support for its four foals.
