Como Zoo

Took a trip this week to the Como Zoo in St. Paul, MN or as I call it the 'sad zoo.' Since it's a free zoo the animals' cages are a bit smaller than your typical zoo in turn making the animals a bit crazy. Hence ... sad zoo.

Here's a few pics. Click for the full set HERE.

Como Zoo

Continuing the zoo adventures I decided to post a few photos from my trip to the Como Zoo I had back in February.

Truthfully, the Como Zoo has come along way (in terms of size of the animal enclosures) from when I was a kid, but it's still kinda sad. As by normal zoo standards the cages/enclosures still seem way too small and depressing to me. The animals are either bored, depressed or just have gone stir crazy. I guess that's what you get when upgrades depend on donations and not fees. So, next time you visit the Como Zoo be sure to make a donation for the animals' sake.

If you decide you don't want to be depressed and skip the animals all together you can still stop over at the conservatory and see all the exotic and tropical plants and flowers. Lots to see and a fun trip. A photographer's dream.

Enjoy the pics.
