Great pictures!<br /><br />I don't care for zoos. Never visit them. Feel very sorry for the animals in cramped cages. Hardly a life for them just so we can oggle them in every sizeable city around the globe. Why not put the people in the cages and let the animals roam free is always my thought.Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00328866430156879312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-8568533506813888692012-03-08T11:02:46.725-05:002012-03-08T11:02:46.725-05:00It amazes me when I see the complicated structures...It amazes me when I see the complicated structures they build way back then.
