The animals had plenty of space and were very well cared for, it was really awesome to get so close too! It was a long drive to get there though, (for me anyway, I hate traveling) I hope to go to the closer one next time.
I basically feel the same way...Riverbanks Zoo here in Columbia seems to take good care of their animals. One of my neighbors here is a vet there!
