Re: San Antonio Zoo DUW!!!!!!!

I would say the Afrock was probably 12-15ft. Hard to tell when they aren't straight. The brown bear was really funny also. I swear he was smiling at times. He would grin, drink some water, then grin again. Such personality for an animal of that nature.

Re: San Antonio Zoo DUW!!!!!!!

It really is a great zoo. The exhibits are really kept nice. A lot of attention to detail is paid. Ive been to many but I really do like this one. They are currently working on a new African exhibit which from what we could see, looks like it is going to be huuuuuge! I will have to return next year to see what they are creating.

Awesome pics! There's a polar bear at the Philly Zoo with what seems like the same personality of your brown bear. They're some of my favorite animals to observe at the zoo

We have aruba island rattlesnakes here in Jacksonville now as well, but I've never seen a gharial. I didn't know there were any on display in the US.

Re: San Antonio Zoo DUW!!!!!!!

Jax zoo is cool, I've been there a couple of times. I don't think they had the unicolors there last time I went.

There's a few zoos with gharials, I can only think of St. Augustine, Dallas/Ft. Worth (pretty sure) and I think Atlanta maybe.

Bears are hard to keep occupied in zoos. They need a TON of enrichment to keep them from developing self-mutilating stereotypical behaviors. Pacing, sitting in corners, over grooming, licking themselves, etc are all common in captive bears.

Re: San Antonio Zoo DUW!!!!!!!

Awesome pics. I haven't been to the san antonio zoo in a few years, looks pretty nice. Do they still have the black footed ferrets? I remember I was sooo excited to see them, then when we got to the enclosure all you could see was one little black foot sticking out of a log. LOL.
