Lincoln Children's Zoo, St. Augustine Alligator Farm, National Aviary, and Tracy Aviary are my favorites under 10 acres.
My favorites are Cincinnati Zoo (Gorilla, not Bonobo), Henry Doorly Zoo, Indianapolis, Oregon (Chimp), and Franklin Park Zoo. Cincinnati and Henry...
Now that Brookfield has confirmed the outdoor Tropic World Expansion, I thought it would be fun to create some mock designs before they finish...
That's precisely my problem with it. The records listed are absolutely correct, but they imply that the transfers are illegal. Which convinces...
I agree. But USDA compliance is what qualifies transfers as "illegal trafficking" versus "legal animal swaps." I feel it does a disservice to the...
Please correct me if I'm misreading the attached documents, but those all look like properly completed and approved transfers. If a facility is...
Are there any more sources regarding any alleged wrongdoing by Wildlife World? The transport of the baby cat at 12 days of age is a clear...
It's taken a minute, but here's version 2. I expanded the site to 15 acres (but 2 acres are parking and 3 are undeveloped, so basically the same...
Some info about Tropic World/the future of primates was included in a recent posting on the AZA job board: "The Brookfield Zoo is in the process...

Thanks for the feedback! I used google SketchUp (an architectural rendering program) to create the original layout based on hand-drawn sketches,...
I live in NYC and have seen a little too much of "the sausage getting made" at the Bronx. I'm a big marine mammal fan, which is why Mystic is so...
Definitely not! I'd visit them all again. Obviously a highly subjective opinion, just my personal feelings right now.
I'm choosing to rank all the AZA-accredited and certified facilities I've visited: Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden, Ohio San Diego Zoo,...
For my next design project, I wanted to create a facility that could be feasibly privately funded and constructed while maintaining an excellent...
I also think it's important to mention that National Aquarium's "sanctuary" project has all but stalled out. The site was supposed to be open by...
Would it be more likely for Callee to move before that?
I am so glad the the AZA forcefully condemned this bill. It's shocking to me that such a bill could even be introduced as the body of scientific...
I definitely agree that having three whales at each park would create suboptimal welfare, but I also think it's over-simplifying to think that...
Separate names with a comma.
