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.

A tiger killed its mate in front of several dozen children one time at the World Famous Topeka Zoo.

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:

Yes. I was very surprised the first time I went.

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.

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.
