The Kanazawa Zoo in Yokohama City
May 3rd, 2003
Hiroki was sleeping deeply at least for three hours and a half,
from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
He suddenly got up at two in the afternoon and began to move energetically.
The carp-shaped streamers in the zoo
(Such carp-shaped streamers are raised for some days including Children's
Day on May 5 in Japan.)
Welcome!
Hiroki kept this position for five minutes.
Are you still sleeping, Hiroki?
