going along with what eddiezahra just said, i too would probably feel that way when going to the zoo again..

when as a child, it was so amazing and exotic.. and still is..

but now i can probably get some of those animals myself!

Even tho you can see most of those animals at my house (right now all but the ETB), I still enjoy a visit to a good zoo. I like to pay special attention to fantastic enclosures to steal ideas. One of my favorite zoos is the Toledo, OH, zoo, which is about 3 hours away. It is farther away than the larger Detroit Zoo but a much nicer place to visit.

Awesome pics!! There is a great non-profit zoo in my area that I grew up going to. It's huge!!!! Especially for being non-profit and can hold its own against other paying zoo's. I went to summer camp there when i was little and was so much fun. I will try and get over there (as this post makes me want to) and get some pics. They have a really cool reptile house that I know yall will enjoy. Nice pics Bobby!!!!

To tell you the truth, I thought about you when I took the pictures of them. My mind wandered off to out future trip into the wilds of your country!! :)

totally agree, i went with my gf not too long ago.. and aside from filling her head with "USEFUL" reptile info on the animals we saw, i was aamazed at the detail put into some of the enclosures (this is the METRO TORONTO ZOO btw)

also Varnyard, nice additional pics.

I don't have any nearby zoos (I plan on visiting the Toronto Zoo for summer vacation one of these days) but I love visiting the aquarium in Vancouver... they have a relatively small reptile section but I LOVE their walk in jungle with redfoots, salfins, sloths and birds zooming all around me.

thanks for the pics! Some of those animals I haven't seen before.

That is a wallabie from Australia, it is one of the smallest Kangaroos, it is a member of the Macropodidaes.
