I love the big cats best. Lions, Tigers, leopards, Ocelots, Snow leopards, Clouded leopards.
The last time I went to the zoo was the Taipei Zoo in Taipei Taiwan in 2010. It is the worlds largest zoo in Asia and a leader in conservation, education and research efforts Super junglely, orchids growing from all the trees and the enclosures were very nice. I saw many Formosan species like Pangolins, Clouded leopards,and other exotic asian species.
I am not a big fan of zoos either but, for conservation efforts they are beneficial. Animals bred and born in captivity don’t know anything otherwise and therefore I do not think they suffer as long as they have adequate space and a well done natural habitat.
