Colobus Monkeys are another common primate, although it's interesting that at least 90% or more of all the zoos I've seen them at have been...
Is there a more common monkey in the zoo world than the Cotton-top Tamarin? These little critters are ubiquitous in zoos across the globe and I've...
I've said this before elsewhere on the forum, but I hate that Nashville puts animals in their bathrooms and I hope more zoos don't jump on this...
According to the elephant database, the oldest elephant to succumb to the virus should be the Asian cow Kathy Sh-Boom from the Niabi Zoo, who died...
Some of these zoos are ones I’ve visited on many occasions, but I’ve listed them only once and that is based on the first time I ever saw Gibbons...

Here's mine (Note: some of these depends, I'm a bit iffy on a lot of elephant programs) Austria Schoenbrunn Zoo Australia Australia Zoo Lone...
Niabi Zoo is a place that I visited in 2012 and the facility is certainly better than a few AZA zoos that I've been to over the years. The...
