That’s true, but you can’t be this up close and personal with Cape buffaloes or rhinos in the regular
zoo. Look! A pair of lions resting under that tree!
* be/get
up close and personal: to be intimate: be in close range of something or
someone
ex> We waited behind the concert hall
to try and get up close and personal with Tony Bennett as he left the venue.
Wow! Look way over there! A hyena. It’s
like they’re coming out of the woodwork.
* come
out of the woodwork: to appear seemingly out of nowhere
ex> After she won the lottery,
distant relatives began to come out of the woodwork.
Note> This phrase is based on the
idea of insects that suddenly come out from under boards in a house where they
have been hidden.
It looks like they aren't hurting for money, unlike some other
zoos I've seen in my travels.
* hurt
for: to suffer from lack of something
ex> We weren't hurting for
ideas, only the money to implement them.
I feel ya, Brad. Of all the safari parks I've ever been to, this one has got
to be the biggest.
* I
feel you: to suggest that you empathize with someone
= I understand you; I get you; I can
relate.
ex> Listen, I feel you, but I
can’t let you cut in line just because you have to use the toilet.
Don’t
look now, but there’s a giraffe poking his head
into the tour bus!
* don’t
look now: a warning to someone that something/someone is approaching from
their blind side and to suggest they don’t turn around
ex> Don’t look now, but I
think that girl over there is checking you out.
