  • There are some amazing zoos that exist! Here in North Carolina we’re lucky to have the NC Zoo, the world’s largest natural habitat zoo. It’s a decent enough hike to get through the entire zoo in one day because the enclosures are spread across a huge acreage where the animals actually have their relatively normal areas to spread out and be enriched properly. They do incredible conservation work, too.

    I’m sorry to anyone who has had poor experiences with zoos. Once, I visited a relative in Virginia when I was younger and went to whatever the local zoo was, and it was horrible. Animals in tiny, simple enclosures. They had a couple of rhinos that only had like… an acre? ish? to roam around in. I remember looking at my dad and saying “This place is really small…” because I had been to the NC Zoo a few times before.
