After we discovered a petting farm in the zoo, Sonia and I have to come and visit every week. Last week we heard an old cow moo. When we came to the barn, a farmer pointed to a cow and asked Sonia what it was. "Moo," Sonia said. He smiled and asked her if she knew what were other animals in the barn. Sonia said "baas." Then he pointed to Alpacas and asked her what they were. Sonia thought for a split second and categorized them as a moo animal. Smart Cookie ;-)
She also loves birdies and they are in a "Tweet, tweet" family. So when a turkey arrived recently, she started her little sweet tweet-tweet sounds with a tiny voice and then her voice went rather low. So turkey is a low tweet bird, they are big.
Here a monkey sat near the glass and Sonia sat by her. They looked at each other and Sonia decided it was an "Arrf." She came up with it and I couldn't think of a better sound. After consulting with Jeremy, we decided that monkeys are "ooh oohs."
Last week I visit taught Suvi at the zoo. Well, I looked everywhere in our apartment and couldn't find an Ensign but we had fun ;-) Suvi is fun and Sonia loved her. It was a pleasant break for Suvi from her studies. The sea lion show was a hit.
Wallabies are usually shy and lay deep in the bushes. We were lucky. They nested near the path. So close by that we took a few shots.
Suvi inspired Sonia to become a turtle. I could never talk Sonia into climbing into the shell before.
What a nice roomy house turtles have. Rent free and quite comfortable. Plus portable. 
May be Sonia will need one of these soon ;-)
