If the starting line for the Tour de France was in front of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and if the horde of bicyclists waiting for the sound off included old men in recumbent bikes with motorcycle shields, families on DIY tandems, women with babies strapped front and back, five-year-olds in serious jerseys, and the fresh aura of freedom being pumped in courtesy of "Eye of the Tiger"—it would still be pretty much nothing like great fun had by the 3,000 people waiting to ride at 8 a.m. this past Sunday.

A feline is a feline. This cougar acts exactly like the Phillyist fosters at naptime.

As we mentioned last week, the Philadelphia Zoo's elephants will soon be moving to a new conservation center in Western Pennsylvania. Good for the elephants, who will have more space in their new home, but bad for Philadelphians who are awed by them, like the kid in this video:

Free is wonderful.

But as this lady and the passengers of Oceanic 815 would tell you, it's probably not a good idea to try to take a dip with a polar bear.

We don't know about you, readers, but we plan on spending our Memorial Day weekend doing a lot of what this appropriately named sloth bear at the Philadelphia Zoo is doing: napping.

Riddle us this: the Philadelphia Zoo and Eagles in the Wild = "The Others"?

We wish we had somebody to carry us around when we got tired. Lucky baby Sifaka...

A week's worth of local hijinks from our friend Craig...

In college, this Phillyist really wanted a pet lemur. She got over it pretty quickly when she realized they don't make practical companions, but this video is making the desire come back.

A week's worth of local hijinks thanks to our friend Craig...

That is all.

We love hedgehogs. And if you haven't noticed, we really love ZooVisitorMM's YouTube channel. So when the two converge to describe the way we feel on a Monday morning, well, we just have to post it here.

It just might snap at you, like this one did.

The lions at the Philadelphia zoo know what Mondays should be like. Is it naptime yet?

Yet another reason to go to the zoo!

Even the elephant at the Philadelphia Zoo is happy it's the weekend.

This video is actually really adorable, and we can't argue with the musical selection. But the mistake in the Please Touch Museum title is just the teeniest bit disturbing.

Unless it's a West African dwarf crocodile baby at the Philadelphia Zoo. In that case, you're probably safe. (And isn't he precious for a reptile?)

With all the leafy branches lying around, it takes a special kind of focus to just stick to one.
