    Hi everyone um. I don’t entirely know a lot about zoos other than the enclosures are horrible for the animals in cartoons. I also don’t know a lot about animals. I just want to feel welcomed in this website and see what I can do to contribute

    Best Regards

    Rolf

    I'm sure many local Californian zoos in you're area are good. Just look at AZA accredited facilities.

    I can't think of any one in particular but if you look up any major zoo (San Diego Zoo, Bronx Zoo, London Zoo, etc.), and even some lesser zoos, you'll find some really nice pictures. I may not be one of them, but many of the people on here take some really good photographs.

    It's also worth noting that one this website, beyond just pictures, you can find many great discussions relating not only to zoos, but zoology in general.

    I can second that, particularly with the new California area. But L.A. is pretty nice as well.

    Many of the zoos in California are good, what do you have in mind?
