Thanks in advance for your answers guys. This research will help make goEMAW a better place to be.

does it have to be within your city limits?

a zoo? i'm really not sure, since i'm not in the 1st grade. i guess if i wanted to be around animals i could move to a jungle and build a tatch hut to live in. but what's the point? roar? no thx. some people need to grow up and accept the fact that the only zoo you need to know about is the one you call your own life.

thatch, not tatch. you would never survive in the jungle.

Also, I love Zoos and have a hard time believing that 'Clams wouldn't want to see this guy in person

Hey 'clams, did you see that adorable Wildcat at the local zoo? No? Too busy grabbing some drinks at Falloons with Fanning? I guess that sounds like fun too

question for the zoo lovers, do you also like to visit prisons? don't answer, we all already know the answer. it's yes. pathetic.
-
they feed the polar bears at our zoo cantaloupes at the same time every day. they bomb them down into the water and the bears dive in and get them. not something they probably eat a lot of in the wild but they seem to enjoy them.
-
one time we were there when they were feeding the huge snakes which they said they don't do very often because they don't need to eat very much or something. anyway, this monster snake ate a pig. ridiculous to watch. took it over an hour to eat it though. we saw it get it and later when we came back it still had pig hooves sticking out of it's mouth.
-
the orangutans at our zoo had these gunny sacks one time and one put it over it's head like a shade thing or a weird hat. pretty hilarious.
-
one time the silverback gorilla was outside and we were watching it and all of a sudden out of nowhere it stood on it's two feet and started running towards us and pounded it's chest. it's chest pounds were super loud. mrs. dave jumped about a foot in the air.
-
Fantastic stories SD. I have not visited a prison but probably would if a prisoner would eat a pig whole or a friend/family member was incarcerated there.
-
I have visited Alcatraz and yes I enjoyed it. :sdeek:
-
one of the female tigers at our zoo only has three legs
-
i voted yes, but i'm not sure if i was correct...
do zoo's that lose their accreditation still count? i mean, it's still open, they just don't treat the animals good enough.

I have a year long pass to the KC Zoo. I have been at least 15 times in the last 12 months. I'd be happy to answer any questions

the prairie dogs at the omaha zoo burrowed out of their enclosure even though it was supposedly concrete under the dirt. they now live all over the zoo and are pretty awesome.

The Sedgwick County Zoo is surprisingly not crappy. Favorite moments: During a grade school trip a goat started nibbling on my t-shirt over in that petting zoo/farm-y area. On my last trip there inside the Rain Forest a little round white bird thought my shoelace was a worm or snake. That guy pecked non stop at my laces and even untied one of my shoes.
On second these anecdotes might indicate their animals are starving and desparate. :sdeek:
-
The DC Zoo is pretty good. Great location. Very "jungly". But the monkey high-wire/zipline things that go all over it are very disappointing, as the monkeys do not seem to ever use them. Pandas more or less made up for it though.
The aquarium in Baltimore is just fantastic, though. Very strongly recommend:

I have never been to the zoo when the black bears or the big cats ever were doing anything but laying in the shade. The kangaroos are usually my favorite. Sometimes the chimpanzees are pretty cool, too.

I dislike zoos. They are boring. Extremely boring.

Hippos. Hippos are fantastic. The zoo ppl in KC feed them while talking about them. You end up with huge hippos eating huge tree branches about 3' from your face. They look like :sdeek: only cuter and w/ much larger mouths right before they bite the branches.
Fantastic.

You can feed the Giraffes. Thats not nothing

30 years ago when the KC zoo sucked way more than it sucks now there was this gorilla named Big Mac who threw his crap at everyone. That is all.
-
Best time to go to the Zoo is spring. Lively animals.
-
Sedgwick Co Zoo is pretty great, for the kids. My son has a ball every time and gets so worn out by the end. He likes to tell me what each animal's name is. Kids make going to the zoo so much more enjoyable.
My opinion (for what it's worth), zoos are great when the animals are well taken care of. :)

The penguin habitat at the St. Louis Zoo is the best thing I've ever seen at any zoo. It is amazing. Also the StL zoo has to be the best free zoo in the country. Wish the rest of the city didn't blow so hard.

Even when the Tigers are just laying in they shade they are still more interesting than like a zebra or something stupid.

I think that only major cities should have zoos. Or places with a enough land that are like preserves. I hate going to shitty zoos and seeing the animals in subpar habitats.
Going to the zoo should be a big deal, not just a casual thing.

I like the subpar habitats. Its a zoo. If animals want to run free they shouldn't get caught. I like being able to get really close, like the tigers at the KC Zoo and hate when the animals are far away in their "natural type habitat", like the Gazelles at the KC Zoo

Many big cities have horrible zoos (Boston, New York, Dallas)
Some small towns have great zoos like Garden City :emawkid:

Ok, maybe I was a bit too general. I rescind my comment until I've more extensively researched the issue.

The prairie dogs at the SCZ also escaped and are currently residing in the bison's enclosure. Don't know if the escaped anywhere else or if they are just cool with living there now.
-
I think Manhattan should have a zoo, only not with multiple exhibits. ALL animals should be put in just in one large exhibit. It would save space and your time for to having to walk around to all the exhibits. A new concept for the zoo layout community to look into I believe.

It also does not take into account the animals born into captivity. They didn't even have a choice in the matter cause thier parents were too stupid/weak to get away. So I guess this means all zoo animals are dumb compared to animals in the wild. :dunno:

About 5 or 6 yrs ago, all the penguins in the San Diego zoo(or somewhere like that) were supposed to have chlamydia(or someother STD). Obvsly a vote for penguins is a vote for VD.

I'm not saying their great, but you can feed them. Not a whole lot of zoo animals that size that you can feed. Big deal for a kid. I would think they're average at worst. I'm starting to think a Giraffe stole your girl or something.

The Suzanne and Walter Scott Aquarium will re-open on April 5 with a new look. Don't worry; all of your favorites are still there. You will still be able to walk through the tunnel and penguins still call the Aquarium home, but now there will be new animals to see...more than 1,000!
The Scott Aquarium is getting new carpet, air-handling system, ceilings, wall finishes, flooring, interpretive graphics and digital monitors. Special lighting, curved wave walls and wider paths will usher you through this renovated exhibit. Each area of the Aquarium will have a specific sound representative of the natural environment. Many of these areas have murals to help depict the aquatic environment.
Good news SD! Your fantastic getting more fantastic.

we have an enormous shark, turtle, stingray glass tunnel you can walk through. pretty great. the only mammel to be found in the aquarium? you guessed it, raccoons. they are in the alligator exhibit :sdeek: . luckily all the big alligators are in the nocturnal building.

I prefer aquariums.
my zoo has a fantastic aquarium
The Suzanne and Walter Scott Aquarium will re-open on April 5 with a new look. Don't worry; all of your favorites are still there. You will still be able to walk through the tunnel and penguins still call the Aquarium home, but now there will be new animals to see...more than 1,000!
The Scott Aquarium is getting new carpet, air-handling system, ceilings, wall finishes, flooring, interpretive graphics and digital monitors. Special lighting, curved wave walls and wider paths will usher you through this renovated exhibit. Each area of the Aquarium will have a specific sound representative of the natural environment. Many of these areas have murals to help depict the aquatic environment.

A steam train is pretty classy. KC's train is total pud.

went to Omaha this summer. was nice, but I think it suffered from too big of expectations. It was nice, but not what I thought it would be.

you were probably expecting like caged aliens and dinosaurs or something?
-
Expected it to be bigger for one thing. everyone always told me how much time you need to see it. We went for a half a day, then came back expecting to spend another half to full day(had been told it takes 2-3 days to see it all) and we were all "wow, we should have just stayed an hour longer yesterday then we could have gone and hit the children's museum".
Bears were cool and my kids liked sitting in the hippo statue mouth, but the aquarium was awesome. The desert dome is just a bunch of rocks and crap. The building is the most impressive thing about it.
Also, all the animal habitats were small. When I see large animals in something the size of my back yard it makes me sad.
-
I think Manhattan should have a zoo, only not with multiple exhibits. ALL animals should be put in just in one large exhibit. It would save space and your time for to having to walk around to all the exhibits. A new concept for the zoo layout community to look into I believe.
I wish I would have thought of this.

I too went to the Omaha zoo last summer. My favorite part was the Gorillas. We were looking at this one sitting on the ground, like in a crouched position, and then all of the sudden he jumped and smacked into the glass with all four feet and then bounded off. It startled me so much that I took a step back and almost fell over my kids stroller. And speaking of strollers never, ever try to push one around the Omaha zoo. So many hills. Steep, steep hills. Need escalators or something.

start by going to the nocturnal and desert dome to your left as you enter because they get packed once the zoo gets busy later in the day and are awful when packed because you can't really walk around people. then head back to the right and hit the rainforest and aquarium. these are all on the top part so no hills yet. now you go down the hill to the let checking the nursery then gorillas and orangutans. hit the bears and cats on the bottom of the hill and then petting zoo and prairie dog village. pretty much have all the major stuff hit unless you want to check out monkey island or the elephants/rhinos but they just stand there and eat hay so I think they are pretty pud. anyway, at the bottom by the gorillas/cats there is a big ass elevator that will take you back to the top. no walking uphill with a stroller. boom, headshot.

They're probably equally confused by our zoos having camels.

Yeah, but there's not packs of wild camels roaming our streets.

You can feed the giraffes at the Dallas Zoo.
Dallas Zoo is not as good at the Ft Worth Zoo but has gotten much better in the past few years.

Anyone been to the KC Zoo in the winter? are all the exibits open? Worth going?

No, but they did have 2" thick bulletproof-like glass between me and it as well as a steel rail. I mean, there was no way for me to steal it.

I once went to the St Louis Zoo in the winter. It was terrible other than the hairless albino monkey. So unless there's a real game changer in the primate pit, I'd say no.
-
Puerto Vallarta zoo is pretty cool. I'll post some pics this weekend. Nothing like standing 18" from a full grown tiger.
-
the absolute worst part about the kc zoo is that it's sooooo spread out. there's that huge "africa" area that has nothing running through it and no way to see 90% of it. all of the animals just hang out in the middle and you can't even see them most of the time...and that's after you spend 30 minutes getting out there. the polar bear(s) are the only thing great about it. doesn't hold a candle to omaha.
-
Zoos remain incredibly boring and a waste of time. Also, I bet the animals don't like being in a zoo.

I do the entire Africa loop routinely with a 2 year old and no stroller.

I saw one orangutan orally please another orangutan today at the KC Zoo. Never seen that before. The receiver, lying on her back, made eye contact with me. :sdeek:
