Colonial German Group

pandas in the snowIt was more like me and some Texan believe it or not. We didn't even see the whole zoo. This time around (I have been to the zoo on my own twice before.), I actually saw some animals. Well, aside from my favorite female mammal species.

Anyway, I witnessed one of the strangest, but coolest events ever. After my "German" friend left me, I positioned myself near a crowd of beautiful young ladies. They were sitting on benches in the shade. Great idea for it was rather warm.

I noticed a few started to talk via hand signals. Are they talking about me, I wondered. Minutes passed then without a sound, all 15 or 20 of them in unison got up and walked a couple yards away. Then all of them in a flurry started to sign stuff to each other.

Are they all deaf? Can't imagine what that would be like. How do they all know each other?
