Rob, I don't know if the B...Thanks gentlemen! <br /><br />Rob, I don't know if the Bison pen is still around. There is much construction going on right now, so I'm hopeful our National Zoo can become the zoo all others aspire to. Who knows.<br /><br />Jer,<br /><br />I've been intending to pick up Sartore's book. Thanks for the reminder.michael kircherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07964839933637079355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2515045338923631990.post-26042207687305099752011-01-09T12:22:35.852-05:002011-01-09T12:22:35.852-05:00Ape Sex...well that's new!
Nice series here ...Ape Sex...well that's new! <br /><br />Nice series here Mike, if you get a chance see if you can get your hands on Joel Sartore's RARE He talks a lot about endangered species existing and reproducing in captivity. This being an almost direct result of extreme loss of habitat in North America. Powerful stuff!<br /><br />Hope all is well my friend...JeremyJeremy Wade Shockleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11179499114264365771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2515045338923631990.post-51914714210585889392011-01-07T20:09:27.790-05:002011-01-07T20:09:27.790-05:00I'm sure I'm not telling you anything you ...I'm sure I'm not telling you anything you don't already know but the National Zoo is not the poster child for ideal zoological locations. ESPECIALLY when it comes to the Great, or is that Grape, Ape house. What could be worse than the Ape house, however, is the pin that the Bison are in; assuming they are still there. <br /><br />Anyway, its always my hope that the research done at many zoos is worth the captivity of the animals. Many of those animals wouldn't have a chance in the wild so one must ask, better living than not? <br /><br />Cool pics by the way, I have to admit the Ape house of my favorite locations at the Zoo. The animals are just magnificent.Rob Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01022020317530728678noreply@blogger.com
