Babies at the zoo

I’m not a fan of zoos. Yeah, yeah, I get it that zoos provide an important role educating people about animals and helping to build awareness that breeds conservation impulses.

But I have also been to the zoo in Rio de Janeiro. It is painful. The first time I visited the zoo the elephant was banging its head against the wall. Nonstop.

I want the Rio zoo to be a better place. Really I do.

This latest report about the fecundity of their inhabitants is a hopeful sign. Check it out.

Good to know, I was thinking of taking my daughter but will now reconsider...

Maybe you could go to get a preview and see if it was appropriate. Then bring your daughter...

good luck.
