Since I have been up since 2 am coughing and feeling generally horrible, I am really bored. I can't sleep. So I am going to update the blog with a few pix from Chicago. I am having to keep it simple since my brain is not working so good.

The cutest little thing ever: The Springhass

From Wikipedia

"The springhare (Pedetes capensis), or springhaas, is not actually a hare, but a member of the order Rodentia" Hmmm.

And here is the lovely Sue at the Field Museum

This is Su Lin (the stuffed version), the first panda brought to US in 1937. After she died, she was autopsied and found to actually be a male. OOPS.



This is one "big ol bar". I come up to about his elbow.

YIKES!

Elephant

There is an interesting story behind this elephant here, unfortunate, but interesting.
