Ugh. I hope it's temporary. I hate when zoos slap animals that would never live near each other in the wild into mixed-species exhibits. Bush...
It's wild to see what look like drawings of caiman in the South American section.
I agree with much of what you've written here. FWIW, I was very pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed my visit to Brookfield last...
Broken record here: I wish Cincinnati would absorb the old Bear Line into Jungle Trails in terms of theming and continuity. You Ould have any...
I probably prefer the Bronx, mainly because of the buildings and several knockout exhibits. The feel of it is something that's vanishing from...
Hopefully this can grease the wheels on the remaining Elephant Trek work and alterations to the old Bear Line. Idk how much 55 mil is in zoo...
Yes. I think there's a separate thread about this idea, iirc.
I get the gist of your argument, but having all 4 of the big megafauna is far from being a need for a zoo to be financially salient. Most zoos do...
I wish zoos wouldn't get too enamored with chasing ways to keep elephants. Not everyone needs to have them, and zoos can be plenty interesting...
That's interesting. The wall buts up against a (as far as I know) hill. I wonder how deep the manufactured terrain goes into that hill. I...
Add access for visitor traffic. Get a bunch of kangaroos. Put up a playground and zipline. Welcome to the modern zoo experience.
Disagree. Animal welfare can hardly be cited as a major priority with this zoo. It's still keeping 4 hippos in a tiny exhibit that requires...
It's great to hear that the okapi and bongo will be staying. As far as the rest, I'll take a wait and see approach. I've been going to this zoo...
So, I guess I'll be the first to ask:what's going to happen to the demolished space?
Looks like the Muller's gibbon exhibit.
Glad the animals are getting a better habitat, but this is a tough one. It's one of the most iconic entrances to any zoo or aquarium in the...
I don't hate morph breeding per se, but it's not my cup of tea. I'll always believed that wild type patterns are the best paint jobs an animal...
IIRC that area was intended to be a yard for something other that elephants. I suppose it's not a huge loss if the actual elephant exhibit isn't...
Is the area diminished or am I hallucinating? It looks like the old lion exhibit is no longer connected to Elephant Trek.
I have no real idea, but the obvious guess is that Elephant Trek is straining the budget. The bear/otter project is what it is. I really wish...
Separate names with a comma.
