What do they have in common? Find out for yourself at the California Academy of Sciences Earthquake Exhibit!

I totally went to the CA Academy of Sciences just to see these baby ostriches. So cute!!

A lady walked around and fed the chicks. (Are baby ostriches called chicks?)

One of the babies was a klutz and kept knocking over the food bowl!

This is what I call “parallel eating” – maybe “parallel parked eating” is more appropriate?

For some reason it seemed they had to run from one end to the other – walking was not an option!

They got up so close to the fence but I couldn’t touch them! Sad. 🙁
