First Thursday's Just For Fun: We're Going to the Zoo Zoo Zoo How About You

Hi. My name is Jessica Olin, and I'm a zoo-aholic. I love zoos so much that I can (and regularly do) visit them alone. I've only lived in this area since the end of January, but I've already been to two different zoos. And before you start talking about how sad it is to see animals in cages, I agree. I especially have a hard time  watching cheetahs pace back and forth. However, zoos really are helping preserve and bring back endangered species, so I still see them as a good thing.

Here are some of my favorite pictures I've taken at zoos.


I love it when they pose so prettily for me. This giant otter is at the Philadelphia Zoo.


Andean condors look like society matrons to me, with their ruffed collars. This fellow lives at the Brandywine Zoo in Wilmington, Delaware.


This koala looked very Yoda to me. She lives at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo.


Okay, so this is another from the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, but s/he posed so prettily I couldn't not share this bald eagle.

How about you all? Any other zoo lovers out there? What's your favorite animal to visit? And what's your favorite zoo?
