    I love your posts. They're like going to Egypt without actually going to Egypt.

    You are welcome to borrow any pics you like.

    The cool thing about this zoo is that most animals here have some kind of disability, so they would never be able to live in the wild. One of the Black Bears is a diabetic, and he has to get shots 2x per day just to stay alive. Also, I don't know if you can see clearly, but one of the monkeys is missing an arm. So he could never swing around in the jungle and he would die off on his own.

    The Cairo Zoo also took a lot of 'refugees' from the Gaza zoo, and a West Bank animal park, when the conditions of the Occupation made it impossible for the Palestinians to keep them any longer.

    So I think it does pretty well, as far as zoos go. I don't like to see animals in cages, but sometimes it is the lesser of 2 evils.

    Zebras look a lot more like donkeys than horses. They're small.

    Nice pictures!! I used to dream about working in a zoo. I love giraffes sooo much.
