First Stop—Zoo Atlanta, Monday, May 26

By Adam Takach

Our group began our public relations adventures at Zoo Atlanta. Although we did not meet with someone who represented the Zoo, we all looked at things that we as a group could do in a public relations situation, from promoting various new attractions in the zoo, like crazy looking naked mole rats, to getting more people to attend the zoo in the Atlanta area.

The zoo had great things for us to look at from amazing animals to the not-so-amazing. What many of us found interesting were the gorillas. There were many of them in the gorilla exhibit and the main attraction for us was the twins. For the not-so-amazing there were many of the reptiles in the World of Reptiles exhibit. Not too many exciting things happened here, just a lot of lying around. Lastly there is just the plain weird, the naked mole rats. Our group came to the conclusion that they are the ugliest creatures that we ever encountered.

Zoo Atlanta was a great place for our group to explore, but the sun belting down on top of us tired us with each step forward. Though it was fun we had to board the bus to make our check-in time at Georgia Tech.
