A Blog designed for discussion of topics related to, but not limited to, Circus, Zoos, Animal Training, and Animal Welfare/Husbandry. Sometimes opening up the dialog is the best starting point of all. And if for nothing else when people who agree and don't agree, get together and start discussing it, it will open up a lot of peoples minds. Debate and discussion even amongst themselves opens a window where there wasn't one before.

Wade, there is nothing wrong with my eyesight. No one else has yet noticed the picture of Su Lin, the first panda in this country. Or is that just a giant skunk...I can't tell. LOL

Wade, do they still have this lion exhibit? It looks very similar to the lion exhibit at the Detroit Zoo, with the fake rock cliffs. I never understood the need for vertical height for lions. Snow leopards or cougars (there's that word again) maybe, but lions? It's too bad that they didn't have Zoo Tycoon back then so that those guys could learn a thing or two. LOL

Mary Ann,
Su Lin?? Let me get my glasses. I'll be damned, it was blurry and looked hairy. I thought it was a well fed Colobus monkey.
I swapped 3 tickets to GSOE to an antique bookseller in Grenich Villlage for that picture and a couple of dozen miscellaneous zoos. But don't tell anybody. My circus associates who used to get upset at my zoo associates, would go nut's if they found out what I swapped tickets for. LOL

Mary Ann,
The moat/rock system initiated as we all know by Carl Hagenbeck, tends to get mundane and silly when all the rock work is the same. What may look "natural" backdropping polar bears, looks silly backdropping giraffe. One of the nicest zoo is the North Carolina Zoo in Ashboro, North Carolina. Their Gorilla exhibit, is where the one and only Snowflake should have been allowed to live out his day's. But their lion exhibit, with tall red rocks, and viewing areas, is as natural as a pig in a tuxedo. Great aviary by the way, and hoof stock exhibits.

Wade, we have never been to the North Carolina Zoo, but I understand that the four largest zoos in the world, not necessarily in order, are Toronto, North Carolina, San Diego, and Singapore.
