When all seems hopeless, there's usually a little Zoo News.
I hate the Midwest, but there is one perk, in two forms. The Columbus (Ohio) and Cincinnati Zoos. Two of the most magical places I've been, many more times than once.
If you can stomach the hate, the politics, the religion and the Klan, you can visit outstanding land/sea animals and botanical gardens.
I'm so glad they're now simulating the individual animals' natural environments in many zoos. When I was a kid an animal like this would be in a cage barely large enough to turn around in. It was heartbreaking.
The photo is precious!! Thanks.
Same here! I used to HATE zoos. This one is amazing.
