Iroh found the animals here quite strange. They seemed to be just one type of animal, instead of a mix. There were no Mooselions, just lions, and moose (meese?). He had decided to become more acclimatized to the creatures bit by bit. There were not exactly startling, in comparison to some of what the port had to offer, but different. Though he understood the value and use of the zoo, he preferred animals to be seen in their natural habitat, as opposed to locked away. Some of their natural beauty and ferocity were lost when they became caged.

He had made sure to arrive there early, knowing that most creatures were active most during the early morning, or the evening. Having completed a pleasant walk through the zoo, he glanced to see a very vibrant older gentleman strolling along as happy as could be.

"My, you certainly are in good spirits, today." he commented as the man approached him.
