Smile Denver Zoo Pic

I took this picture back in February. Any comments or suggestions? Thanks!

Nice pic! I feel sorry for the Jaguar though.

Comments ? This may not be the right one but, you have reiterated my disdain for zoos, fences, and cages. Don't get me wrong, in that I'm reminded of one imprisoned for a crime the accused didn't commit. I'll probably never see one in the wild but for me that' would be better than the look at your second pic. It's not you it's what it represents so no offense. The pics are good to me in my own way.

Denver Zoo is particularly guilty of this. Perhaps I was spoiled living near the Cincinnati Zoo for so long, but I was pretty shocked at the conditions at Denver. TINY enclosure, lots of fencing, etc.

I will admit that the Denver Zoo does need a bit of updating on their enclosures. Where most of the cats are is pretty outdated. They are working on updating the zoo to newer type enclosures.
