The Lincoln Park Zoo is an amazing institution:
100 years of history, a $21 million annual budget, 171 full-time staff, and 1,250 animals.
With all this, it has its problems too grafting animals from so may diverse ecosystems in one patch of land on the lakeshore of the Midwest, as the recent chimpanzee news attests to.
In the gift shop I noticed a giraffe loose near the stuffed animals (although it is hard to find much besides stuffed animals in the shop).
The seals always seem to get to most out of their aquatic pacing in their tanks, moving like smooth, fat fingers through the air. Luckily, I think the glass is thick enough they don't hear the kids yelling:
The big cats seem to enjoy it less in my mind...
