Zoo

[PurpleBear]

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.

underrated zoo animal:  penguins

who has ever underrated penguins? Everyone in the world loves them.

yeah, i've never met anyone who was lukewarm about penguins.

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.

Sounds like a decidedly favorable opinion of penguins to me.

penguins deserve more zeal than that

a penguin couldn't hold an otters jock strap. just an fyi.

[steve dave]

hmmmm, just found out that the manhattan townie zoo had otters but no penguins.  interesting.

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

This is kind of mean. 

[Rams]

The Sedgwick County Zoo is a very, very nice prison.

fyp

If animals want to run free they shouldn't get caught. 

Stop acting like there are dudes out there tranquilizing happy healthy animals in the wild and throwing them into zoos.  That's not the way it works, dumbasses.

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.

The last time I was at the St Louis zoo, they had a hairless albino chimp. It was terrifying.

Bottom line is Giraffes are terrible. They are losers. End of story

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.

I don't know.  Most of them are better off than in the wild anyway.  A tiger in a zoo is infinity times better off than a wild tiger.

hey guys- remember that fantastic movie "emmet penguins jug-band Christmas"? yeah, neither do I.

[TheCatFanSpeaks]

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.

Good news SD!  Your fantastic getting more fantastic.

[steve dave]

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  .  luckily all the big alligators are in the nocturnal building.

It's so scary walking through the swamp exhibit, I mean I get it's suppose to be dark and swampy but put some lights up

[raquetcat]

appropriately rated zoo animal:  baby gorilla

baby gorilla at the Omaha zoo was great, I think I saw it like 5 times when I lived there, it was all cuddly and sleepy

Also love it when the orangutans hang on the net upside down, omg their toe muscles are so strong

That's confusing?  Tigers in the zoo get delicious meals and get to not worry about poachers.  Wild tigers get poached.

Baby giraffes are super cute.

[jtksu]

I would love to have a baby hippo or elephant.

[MeatSauce]

i went to Sea World and the San Diego Zoo in one weekend when I was a kid. Not sure if there is a single amphibian,bird, fish, mammal, reptile, etc. that I didn't see.

[jtksu]

I don't care for Sea World, they're the world's largest buyer of dolphins from those bastards in Japan.

[husserl]

At the Puerto Vallarta zoo you can hand feed just about anything.  For like 5 bucks you get to play with baby lions/tigers/pumas, no joke.
