i guess there is a reason this zoo is so popular! it is huge so it requires SO much walking. the nature is beautiful and it is obvious they really tried to make the animals feel more at home by implementing necessary surroundings for them. one thing i saw there that i haven t seen at any other zoo is they have shops specific to the area each animal is. so by the polar bear there is a shop outside of the area to buy polar bear specific items. speaking of polar bears, i docked a star due to the fact that it is significantly warmer and different in climate than where polar bears come from and the habitat built for them did not seem like it was for a polar bear. it looked hot, dry and full of dirt. the polar bear was actually dark grey in color from the tiny bit i saw of it. i m not the most educated on this topic but i personally felt maybe a polar bear needs to be a habitat that is cold and icy? i didn t feel it belonged here at all. i could be wrong but it just didn t seem right to me. i know they are very threatened right now due to climate change so i can always appreciate the zoo trying to bring their numbers back up. other than that i don t have any complaints. also i absolutely loved just how many koala bears they have though! that was one of my favorite things about the zoo, it was my first time ever seeing a koala in person. it was a very cool experience seeing so many animals at this zoo, i did enjoy my day here for sure. i recommend seeing this zoo and would probably go again someday!
