I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. LOUZOO_081007_039.JPG: Both of the zoos I visited on this trip were going to have "boo at the zoo" Halloween events. I guess it's done in most zoos now.
2. LOUZOO_081007_051.JPG: Salute to a Pioneer Family: The American branch of the Phillips family began with Jenkin Phillips, born in 1744 in Loudon [sic] Co., Virginia. He fought with George Washington and helped survey what was then called Kentucky County for Patrick Henry and the Commonwealth of Virginia. For his services, Phillips was deeded 1,000 acres of land radiating out from this spot. At the time of his death in 1822, the family owned land extending from this area into southern Indiana.

6. LOUZOO_081007_152.JPG: One of the weirdest displays I've seen in a zoo so far! Hippos Fertilize the Forest When the pygmy hippo wants to mark its territory, it scatters its dung around by shaking its tail. The spraying poop is actually good for the forest, as it fertilizes the soil. The odor helps the hippo sniff its way along the trail. It also tells other hippos "This road is taken." Turn the wheel and spread some hippo manure! (Just kidding -- it's only water!)

Wikipedia Description: Louisville Zoo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Louisville Zoo, or the Louisville Zoological Garden, is a 135 acre (0.55 km�) zoo in Louisville, Kentucky, situated in the city's Poplar Level neighborhood. The "State Zoo of Kentucky" currently exhibits over 1,300 animals in naturalistic and mixed animal settings representing both geographical areas and biomes or habitats.

The Louisville Zoo is accredited by the American Zoo and Aquarium Association (AZA) and the American Association of Museums (AAM). During the 2006-07 season, the zoo set an all-time yearly attendance record with 810,546 visitors.

History:

The Louisville Zoo was founded in 1969, on land acquired by the City of Louisville in the 1960s from the estate of Ben Collins. Much of the initial funding was donated by local philanthropist James Graham Brown.

In 1994 an elephant used for rides picked up a visitor with its trunk, injuring the man after the elephant threw the man down.
