My definition of Bravery….

You don’t see any adults getting right up to the glass to look at the gorilla….

And the toddler has no concept of “Safety Glass”.

The plexiglass floors in towers are another bravery location!
I like jumping on them for the cheap/safe adrenaline rush: it’s like bungy jump light.

note: that photo has to be from Ueno Zoo in Tokyo.

My extreme fear of heights would prevent me from even doing a bungy jump light.

The photo, I can tell you was taken at the Omaha Zoo…. I know this because I’m the one that took it. Yes this is an Ervin Shlopnick original.
