Lion Sea, Lion Do

Foo just had so much fun playing in the waves with this liony friend from the sea. Frustratingly, though, Foo's new friend's game was keep-away so Foo rarely ever got the ball.

Bird Bank

Foo was banking on the fact that this gigantic peacock turkey bird would let him go for a ride. What he hadn't planned on was that the bird couldn't actually move at all and was just a money collector to raise funds to help save endangered birds.

Dino Foo

Foo was so impressed by all the famous dinosaurs he got to meet today that he just had to try to be one himself so he found this cool dino mask. What do you think? Rawrrrrrr....

Say It, Don't Spray It

Foo was about to complement this dilophosaurus on its cool double-crested head style when all of a sudden he spit water right at Foo. Sure it felt good on a hot day, but what a bad example to set for the little one... geez...

How High Can You Spine?

Foo was fascinated by the Acrocanthosaurus because of his gigantic spine and four-foot head. But what he really loved was that he mugged for the camera and winked, just like Foo!

Sexy Rexy

Foo got to meet up with his old pal Rex, who came in from San Antonio for a visit. He still seemed a little pissed off, but he was certainly in a better mood than last time. Maybe it's because he was now surrounded by trees instead of tourists.

Terrible Claw

Foo really wanted to stay away from these guys, named Deinonychus, which means "terrible claw." It's known as one of the most lethal dinosaurs because of how it could wield its claw like a weapon. Foo has weapons too... but he had to leave them at home.

Monte and the Babies

This momma saurus, called Edmontosaurus, was very protective when Foo got a little too close. Even though she's a plant eater, her really good sight, hearing and smell made her wary of Foo.

He had no idea why until he came upon her little newborn babies frolicky in the swampy wetlands. He moved on because he meant them no harm.

Yup Yup Yup

This guy reminded Foo of his favorite cartoon dinosaur, Ducky, from The Land Before Time. and he was right. Named Protohadros, this is the oldest known duck-billed dinosaur and could walk on two feet or four when it hunted for plants.

See Low, Run Fast

Foo knew he had to be careful around these guys known as Coelophysis. They can catch live prey and leave teeth behind, then grow them back so they can bite many more. Although Foo would love a dinosaur tooth, he didn't want one in his tail.

Not a Stegosaurus

These thick-skulled dino guys were adamant that Foo got their name right: Stegoceras, not Stegosaurus. Foo knows they'll read this post because they have really good eyesight so they can look for plants to eat!

Edmond From Tonia

Foo had no fear when he met this dinosaur friend, called Edmontonia. He only eats plants and makes loud honking noises.

But still, with all that tough, protective armor, Foo wasn't about to challenge him in a battle. He didn't need to sharp spike poking into Foo.

Baby Buffalo

It was such a hot day at the Houston Zoo that Foo couldn't really blame some of the animals for just sleeping through much of his visit. He just thought it was so cute that this momma and baby buffalo were all cozy together that he jumped up on top and helped tuck them in before continuing on his journey.

Quite the Gaggle!

When these crazy geese began to cry and cry for food, Foo jumped up and tried to comfort them. But since Foo had nothing for them to eat, there was just no consoling these boisterous honkers!

Foo Is Not Food

Foo was fascinated by this beast. He thought at first it was just a white cow, but he soon found out that it was really a zebu, and a miniature one at that. What would a big one be like?

As it turned out, the zebu was just as interested din Foo as he was in it, and it proceeded to try to eat his ear. Foo knows he's sweet, but he'd rather not be lunch so he soon moved away to the next less bitey animal.

Can I Take Him Home?

In spite of the really big horns of this guy, Foo insisted and begged and pleaded that he should take him home with him. He wouldn't stop until it was explained that the horns would damage the car and there would be no more road trips.

Giraffe Love

When Foo heard there were a couple of giraffes at the zoo, he had no idea that it would be like a real couple, their lives and bodies intertwined. But just like a human guy, he'd rather stare at the wall than worry about the lady's outlook.

Cuddle Huddle

Foo wanted to get in on this bear cuddle session, but they were too focused on their own hugs to let him in. Ah well, that's cool. It probably would have been too much to bear anyway.

Zebra Pants

Foo doesn't remember this guy's name, but if you look closely, you can see that he is sporting zebra pants. Foo just hopes they're not made of real zebra. That would just be weird.

Mr. Pointy

After seeing the size of this guy's horns, Foo knows he doesn't want to meet his kind in the wild! Foo is very fragile and doesn't like getting poked with sharp things!
