It is really a sad state of affairs, actually. I’ve seen a guy whip out a pistol and point it jokingly at an elephant and say, “Imma get me a...
Saint Louis Zoo has an indoor (wintertime) exhibit called Jungle of the Apes opened in 1986, and an outdoor (spring/summertime) one called Fragile...
Noted. I’m just going by what friends have said, I haven’t lived there in years. And I consider all the NYC zoos separate facilities, because they...
This is a wonderful thread! :) Are there any land-based fauna endemic to the Hawaiian islands that you’ve photographed? I don’t know much about...

I would love to see a kakapo someday. It seems the conservation program they’re doing with them in NZ has actually been pretty successful these...

That's the only one I wasn't entirely sure about. The alpacas were behind-the-scenes with the other Children's Zoo animals, they had what looked...
I understand your skepticism. Their website is always notoriously out-of-date, and the Children's Zoo animals have been removed from the site...
I'm not a taxonomist, so I can't tell you which subspecies some of these are (I just wrote down what the signage said for them). The Addra gazelle...
I appreciate the post, I thought you were belittling STL as a facility and now I see in hindsight that I was incorrect. However, your ungulate...
