I have not been to the zoo in a long time, but I have been to a lot of nice zoos. Among my favorites are the Indianapolis Zoo, which has a lovely polar bear exhibit (or at least it did the last time I was there), the St. Louis Zoo, and Zoo Atlanta, which has a very nice panda exhibit. Overall, the zoo is not among my absolute favorite places to go. It tends to be overcrowded, with lots of completely uncontrolled small screaming children, overpriced, and it smells bad. However, I love seeing the animals. They make it all worth it. Especially if you are at your leisure to see them as you please, and not hurried along by a teacher with a field trip schedule to stick to.
Tigers (and big cats in general) are a must-see for me. I love their powerful grace and austere beauty. Feeding time is optimal. Basically, they're my favs.
Elephants are the bomb too. You gotta respect the ears.
Pandas are just great. Zoo Atlanta is pretty special in that it has pandas at all, and we were super ridiculously lucky when last year one of the females had a baby. Very rare. The baby is called Mei Lan. Isn't she cute?
I have a strange fascination with the platypus, so if a zoo has them, I will go see them.
So that's what I would go see at the zoo. What are your must-see animals?
Dude i LOVE the polar bear at the Indianapolis Zoo! Why don't we have a polar bear? Other than that, big cats are pretty much my fav too. I like how you can actually see them at Riverbanks zoo instead of having to peer through all the jungle like in ATL.
ReplyDeleteWe're lucky to live near the Toronto Zoo with a wonderful new gorilla exhibit. Of course the big cats are fun and so are the polar bears.
