Have you ever fed a leopard through a chain link fence?

Zoos are universally fun, especially when you can see the animals up close and personal. We were able to buy food and feed brown bears, polar bears, wolves, leopards, and black leopards. All in all we bought 2 cups of dead fish, 1 live fish, 1 cup of fruit, and 3 dead chickens, well worth the $9.The only thing between us and the wild cats was a chain link fence. We heard a black leopard purr from inches away. I don't know of a zoo in the states that would let us get this close...granted if fingers went through the fence, they may be bitten off...so the safety standard is a little different. The worker shoved the chickens through the fence, so we were well out of dangers way. The bears danced for their food. The kids threw the fruit and dead fish to the bears, but unfortunately not all the food made it across the chasm. All 3 kids also got to sit on an elephant's trunk as it went onto its 2 back feet. Matt and I could have as well, but we opted to let the kids go first...just to make sure it was safe. After our eventful time at the zoo we continued to explore the City of Dalian and went to a beautiful scenic road by the ocean. We saw some very Chinesee pagodas on a cliff right on the ocean, and thought we would hike to it. We pull off the road to the park, which ended up being a "wedding park." It was a good thing Eden wore her beautiful fancy dress. She also wore knee high purple socks and tennis shoes, but a fancy dress worthy of wedding pictures none the less. Wedding parties wanted her in their photos, purples socks and all.
