I was going through some photo's I took, and today I realize how much my children have an advantage at the zoo.  What I know remember from what the zoo was in the 70's is amazing. Feeding time at the lions and tigers cages was awesome.  Watching those big cats tear apart their dinner.  But the smell was horrible and the animal had no room to roam.  They just paced back and forth or stood, often times they just laid there.  Now the animals can run .   The can stretch their legs and be in an enviroment that is more to nature for them.  I would rather see our zoo's moving in this direction.  With all that is going on in this world, this may be the only way our children and generations to come may see some of these marvalous creatures.  I might not be able to get up close to a lion or tiger, some days not see some of the animals.  But the cages gave them no room to be as free as they can as captive animal.  Enjoy the show.
