I for one am glad to see another zoo go out of common hippos. It's one of the most costly species to keep, and once LSS systems are factored in...
It's crazy to think that I began this thread in January and already more zoos have gone out of elephants (or announced a decision). Just in 2024,...

I wasn't sure what to make of Elephant Odyssey in the past and honestly I’m still not sure what to make of it now. When it works it works very...
