Its sad to me to see these animals in their enclosures because no matter what, the inclosure is not big enough. The animals don't get to hunt for food, they don't really live the life they were meant to live. And its really humans fault.
I stood at the grizzly enclosure for about 15 minutes staring at this giant grizzly who looked absolutely miserable. I couldn't even take pictures of it.
Anyway, the Sumatran Tiger and Red Wolf shots were taken at the Point Defiance Zoo and the rest I took at the Woodland Park Zoo in north Seattle.
I have the same exact feelings about zoos…sigh… We have a polar bear at our zoo, and I think she is getting a bit neurotic. It's like she has OCD sometimes and can't stop a pattern of pacing and swimming.
Nice images though--I especially like the lion family.
That wolf at the end looks kind of sad...
