I think we should be able to expect a lot more then this from the San Diego Zoo

What goofy silhouettes these are to enhance your "wild" experience.

Must be one tough rabbit. I wouldn't let my grand daughter near such a dangerous beast. The echidna exhibit is one of a series of old CZ displays. Not much for the viewer but probably fine for the echidna.

Jim,
At first glance I initially thought it was a squeeze cage, and I wondered why they didn't just hold them up to sex them. The echidna exhibit tipped me off to where they got the idea of the meal worm cups and water bowls they now sell for your pet lizard in the pet stores.

Good one Wade, it looks just like the squeeze and crates I store behind the elephant barn. The guy that approved these exhibits needs a good thrashing.

Joey,
Nice to hear from you. I am glad you appreciated the humor. I censored an anonymous remark directed at me, not because it was directed at me, but because the language was rather harsh. In essence it said I must have a part of the male anatomy in my mouth, because everything I say comes out sounding like s**t, and maybe the rumors about me and Cliff Vargas are true. LOL Anonymous folks are like the barkeep in a saloon fight hiding behind the bar. John Wayne knocks the soup out of Dastardly Dan and as Dan is picking his bloody self up, Pete the barkeep comes over the counter and whacks him in the head with a whiskey bottle. Anonymous are just Pete the barkeeps.
Regards and be safe friend,
Wade

While living in Ramona I spent alot of time at the SD ZOO and W.A.P. I had never really studied any zoos before other then working awhile at the Phoenix Zoo. I really was let down by both SD Zoo and WAP, only because as a kid that was all I heard about was the WAP and Joan Embry. To this day I would put the exhibits at PHX up against either of them.

Casey,
That's what I thought when I first saw San Diego Zoo. I am glad I went to the Wild Animal Park the next day, because it made me breath a little easier. Everybody needs to study "self-serving paper real close before it is excepted as gospel. Joan Embry!!! I'd like to sent her, Jack Hanna, Jeff Corwin, and Jim Fowler out in the Amazon on a zoological expedition, and see who comes back with a giant Anaconda first, and what 3 "zoologists" have to be airlifted out 4 day's later dehydrated, bug bit and comatose from heat exhaustion.
