It’s great that you’ve brought this up.

So true Cathy! It is such a fantastic place to visit. I would love to live in Singapore for a couple of months, with the goal of visiting the zoo a couple times a week.

There are some very good Zoos out there with ample of space and where they take good care of animals. I would also like to see them roam free but sometimes they are safer in an environment where they are protected and taken care off.

I agree with you on how different zoo can be. When we see the ones that actually try and recreate a natural environment , we tell people about it and encourage them to visit it. We have been to a few where I don’t even take images other then to show the negative conditions. Really good post. This was a great idea by Jim!!

We were at Singapore zoo way back in 74 and even then it had an expanzive feel about it. So next time through we’ll make a point of getting there.
