Two by Two to the Ark, Let's Go to the Park
The Maryland Zoo
But with thee will I establish my covenant: and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons wives with thee. And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female. Genesis 6:18-19.
The Maryland Zoo (formerly called The Baltimore Zoo) is
a marvelous place to visit. It is the third oldest zoo in the country and is the
