It's heart-breaking to see the animals look so sad and awful if they are lonely.

I know what you mean about not doing what you used to. We all go through phases on that and life and other interests get in the way. Right now all I have is time, so it makes it a little easier!<br /><br />Your zoo visits are such fun. I like that animal that looks like a member of the deer/antelope family.Jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17482528482559445943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-45692586780252542772016-10-27T09:43:32.920-05:002016-10-27T09:43:32.920-05:00Those bears looked very sad and lonely.

And I am curious about your bear photos. The bear behind the glass looks like the grizzly bear but the other lonely looking bear looks like a black bear. Grizzly's have humps behind their heads on their necks, which your lone bear doesn't look like it has. We also have black bears here and I see them occasionally. Grizzly's have those humps because they originally evolved on the plains and used to dig for their food. That created those big muscular humps. I love seeing all the animals though. I looks like you have a really nice zoo in Wichita. :) Hugs-ErikaMy name is Erika.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04834435573574156495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-48405501265047268432016-10-27T04:12:12.552-05:002016-10-27T04:12:12.552-05:00I loved this visit around the indigenous animals o...I loved this visit around the indigenous animals of the USA! Wild turkeys have always fascinated me as have the eagles! I can't believe that I can help you out here but the deer with the white behind is a white tailed deer! My ex used to do field archery and so did I for a while based on 'if you can't beat 'em, join 'em' A lot of the images used for targets were American and being me I had to find out what they were! The other deer are possibly mule deer although the drawings had bigger ears than these so probably not! The bison, rather oddly were one of my eldest son's obsessions (still is I think) Looking forward to seeing more! Have fun with your guests!

The more we look at places like zoos the more we wonder why we keep animals in this type of place I think. Must admit I like zoos and believe it when they say they are doing breeding programmes etc.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing more of your zoo experience<br /><br />Love Chrissie xxchrissiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05841948513176294307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-34358720727984759042016-10-27T01:35:21.800-05:002016-10-27T01:35:21.800-05:00Lovely animals, you really saw a lot, but like you...Lovely animals, you really saw a lot, but like you, I don't understand why some animals/birds are kept on their own, that's hard. I want to visit one of the zoos near here one day, but they are always very expensive.
