My favorite animal is elephants (African and Asian), and my favorite zoos without them'd have to be Philadelphia Zoo and Prospect Park Zoo.
I would argue that the overall future of elephants in US zoos is one of uncertainty. In basically all metrics: legality, ethics, animal welfare,...
I'm in a similar boat to you with how often I see rhinos- although almost exclusively due to a singular zoo. Rhinos as a whole are rare in...
Granted, I for one would like to think it's a good thing the zoo no longer attempts to cram large animals inside such a small footprint! While,...
Unfortunately , zoos , in the cities of the United States of America are anachronisms in relation to the cultures of the urban centers which they...
This is a difference. While I am not for exhibition for exhibition sake , my formulative interest in zoos and aquaria began in the, still,...
If that's what you want zoos to be, then the criticism of Bronx is extremely surprising! Bronx exhibits a very diverse collection- including a...

Wow what spirited defense by , obviously , zealous , supporters of , particularly , WCS run New York City zoological institutions - little mention...
Al the same I dreaded coming back to this place and I'm glad it gave me a little boost. Pocono Snake & Animal Farm 7/26 [SPOILER]
On vacation in the Poconos I took a chance on one of the two most advertised zoos in the region. It's better than the Snake and Animal Farm I...
Staten Island Zoo 8/9 [SPOILER]
Nice additions but maybe if you have a photo o the Amazon you saw we could identify it and make it admissible? For now I don’t think genus-level...
And with that, we are done with this series of honorable mentions. Going forward, however, there are still either six or seven more posts with...
Bronx Zoo 3/21 A sunny warmish day in this part of the country, but a shame more hoofstock or the hyrax weren't out. A bigger shame that the...
