Just keeping to my word, previously, and trying to lighten up the blog with pictures.

I know this is also in the photostream to the right here, but I don’t think many people click on those images.

Generally, I have quite mixed opinions about Zoos. I agree they can provide a wonderful service and maintain populations of animals which may otherwise go extinct, and more importantly they open access to the wonders of the animal kingdom to people who would, otherwise, never get to see them.

However, I often think the animals in the zoo never seem really happy. (I am aware this is a massive anthropomorphication, but so what.)
