Chester Zoo

Opinion is divided on zoos.
Like many things in life I think there are good and not so good variants. On balance, I think that the benefits of the educational value and conservation programmes of 'good' zoos outweighs the argument against them.

Lots of photos to choose from; had difficulty choosing, hence several Extras today.

Main: elderly chimpanzee
Extra 1: baby elephant
Extra 2: pensive Orang-utan (shot through glass)
Extra 3:  giraffe
Extra 4: tiger (shot through foliage; it had just eaten a dead chicken - spot the leg)
Extra 5: lions (shot through chain-link fence)
Extra 6: zebra scratching leg with it's teeth
