San Diego Zoo

Ludacris and his 8-year-old daughter Karma got the VIP treatment during their July 24 visit to the San Diego Zoo, where they hung out with a menagerie of animals, including this endangered ocelot named Diego, a wolf, a giraffe and pandas. "They were great, particularly his daughter -- she's very interested in animals," Christina Simmons, a rep for the zoo, tells PEOPLE Pets.

The rapper-actor shared on Twitter that he decided to make a pit stop at the zoo after a visit to San Diego's Comic-Con convention. And he snapped a Twitpic of Karma with Diego, who resides at the Children's Zoo and regularly meets with visitors. The proud daddy Tweeted about his little girl's enounter with the big kitty, "Karma is brave."
