So what is there to do in Abu Dhabi?
First up, the zoo. It’s basically one big petting/feeding opportunity. Nothing like a zoo in America. Low walls, minimal barriers, and almost no supervision. They sell bags of vegetables, bundles of grasses, popcorn, and other animal treats all over the park. We got up close and personal with all the species.
Including these freaky looking ROUSes (aka, Nutria) that would stand up and reach for slices of cucumber. They are bigger than my cat. Huge rat-like creatures with webbed feet and teeth like a beaver . . .

The giraffe’s tongue had a grip like a human hand. He wrapped it around part of my bunch of grass and almost yanked the entire thing out of my grasp!
