Niamey Zoo



Niamey has a Zoo and it is also an Art Museum and it is also a Natural History Museum and it is also a Park and it is also an Artisan Center. The cute little dog thingy is what we call "firefox" and i forget it's real name. The man weaving uses a traditional loom and makes what are called 'wedding blankets'. They are long strips of woven pieces sewn together to make a blanket. i cant remember what the videos are about but i think at least one of them is the lion feeding we saw which shocked us. the lions were literally attacking each other and many had fresh scratches and nicks. I'm not enough of an animal expert on natural animal behavior but i really think they don't behave like that on the Serengeti.
