While zoos recreate natural habitats, they must separate the animals to keep chimpanzees from taunting elephants and jaguars and leopards from noticing that they wore the same outfit. See the secret lives of animals with today's Groupon to The Buffalo Zoo. Choose between the following options:
- For $10, you get a visit for two (up to a $20 value).
- For $18, you get a visit for four (up to a $40 value).
Originally established in 1875, The Buffalo Zoo invites guests to enter a variety of exhibits featuring biomes from the Americas, Australia and Asia, and Africa filled with vegetation and mammals, reptiles, amphibians, birds, and fish in recreations of their regional climates. Depending on the season, visitors wander zoo grounds past a craggy sea lion cove, admire adjacent lion and tiger habitats, feed giraffes, and watch zebra and addax as they nibble grass into caricatures of zoo guests. Rainforest Falls, a four-season exhibit, recreates various levels of South American climate. Visitors traverse arboreal ramps and overlooks to formally introduce themselves to tree-dwelling squirrel monkeys, scarlet ibis, and vampire bats, or to peer down to the forest floor at capybara, ocelot, and giant river turtles. The Heritage Farm children's exhibit gathers pigs, sheep, and a mule around an authentic 1800s barn, and demonstrates 19th century life on the Erie Canal without the butter churning duels involved in most historical demonstrations. The Buffalo Zoo also participates in the AZA's Species Survival Plan to further its aims of animal and plant conservation. The zoo remains open during all weather conditions.
Groupon Says
The Groupon Guide to: Siblings
Because it's not polite to tell a child their age, many people don't know whether they are the eldest, middle, or youngest sibling in the family. Take this quiz to find out which one you might be:
Your favorite way to influence the future is by:
a. Organizing your son's social studies binder
b. Deconstructing Lego cities built by children to teach them to doubt the establishment
c. Chewing!
Your workout routine involves:
a. Bench-pressing smaller humans
b. Contemplating
c. Running on a metal wheel!
It's dinnertime. You take your place:
a. At the head of the table. Everyone in the family will be excited to hear you regale them with the story of how you won today.
b. In your bedroom. Watching your family members chew makes you sick.
c. In the food bowl! Hopefully you'll be able to pick out some of those delicious sunflower seeds!
If you could redecorate your home you would:
a. Expand. You need a home for all your cars and a garage for all your children. Oops! Other way around.
b. Burn the thing down
c. Add more tubes!
Answer key: If you picked mostly As: You're the eldest sibling, congratulations! Your assertive type A personality makes you a leader in the family and a difficult person to watch television with.
If you picked mostly Bs: You're the middle sibling. You're artistic, emotional, and immune to romantic comedy.
If you picked mostly Cs: Your name is Oreo, you're the fifth child in a litter of 14, and everyone here just wants you to come home.
