Polar bears and electric cars

No, this is not a post on climate change, but it does combine two of my very favorite things: polar bears and electric cars. Two weeks ago, Jon and I went on a date to the zoo, and this is what we saw!

A friendly emu.

A sleepy kitty. (Oh, how I just WISH I could see a moutain lion in the wild - maybe from the safety of the car!)

A very cute family of hippos - one of my very favorite animals.

The hippos go for a swim.

The polar bear goes for a swim. I actually cried when I saw the polar bears. They were too hot in the Albuquerque heat. And it's getting too hot in Alaska too.
The very last thing we saw at the zoo was not behind bars. We saw two rare species of electric cars, which I correctly identified as being from the Miles EV family. Yay for electric cars! They both had California plates, but I hypothesized that they were perhaps show-off vehicles of the Albuquerque Q program or run-around cars for the zoo, or maybe both. Who knows? Now I would just like to spot an NMG in the wild. :)
