    We went there this weekend and yeah that elephant didn’t do anything other than very slowly toss wet sand on its back due to the heat. Compared to other equally locked elephants at the same Diego animal jail zoo, she looked sad sad.

      The elephants were never a great part the zoo, IMO, and what you’re seeing is a remarkable improvement from what it used to be.

      The aquarium is the main draw for my family. It is currently the most updated and least fucked for the animals.

      The Red Wolves were reintroduced to the wild from the breeding program at the zoo too. It’s a mixed bag that place.

        The aquarium was actually really good. I’m sure the bigger sharks are probably pissed all the time but otherwise they were really ample.
