Here comes young rhino, Romeo,
To check out if it's really true -
Visitors beginning to show
Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.
...
This spoonbill chick, a few weeks old,
Is getting used to humans that
Come by - the chick's getting more bold
In checking out the habitat.
...
Zebra, Adia's soon to be
A Mom again, and so she is
Going about quite patiently,
Minding her own and baby's biz.
...
We red footed tortoises do
Like to lounge about in the sand
Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.
We feel the rest spells to be grand.
...
A spectacled caiman I be.
I am a reptile that is in
The crocodilus family.
Crocs and gators are cousin kin.
...
The old man could not hear too well,
So the doc was checking him out.
In the left ear the doc could tell
Something was stuck in there about.
...
The female porcupine does choose
The male with whom she wants to mate.
And then the chosen male pursues
A ritual to copulate.
...
A snail crawled on a turtle's shell.
Of that fact it was unaware,
And as far as the snail could tell,
It was on a rock that was there.
...
Old Jack, the meerkat, was alone.
All his buddies had passed away.
So Queen and her two daughters own
Came to Lincoln Park Zoo to stay.
...
A piping plover bird I be.
As an ambassador I try
To let the public know that we
In the wild are threatened and why.
