Favorite Zoos & Aquariums

From the time I was a young child, my parents took me on many field trips to zoos.  I learned a lot about the animals from reading the signs and asking a lot of questions.  More importantly, it taught me the importance of patience, particularly when capturing a photo of an animal.  Although I always prefer to see wildlife in their natural habitat, this is not always possible.  Some of my favorite zoos include (listed alphabetically)….
