Yogyakarta zoo standards...
In this cage a Gibbon wastes away.
Noizy indonesians give him
unhealthy food! |
|  |
The quarantaine...
is more a waiting zone
when one of their species dies inside
the zoo.
Also waiting a Siamang and
one of those beautiful
Celebes macaques. |
| |
The expression says enough. No?
A chimpanzee , and
it is a young animal.
Where did they get him?
They had no female...
He belongs in Africa. |
| |
The recreation is ofcourse there...
A tunnel to walk through...
A playground for children...
Boats like swans to sail the lake.
The Bird you see is a lucky one ,
It is a wild one , just stopping by... |
| |
Recreation sounds a lot like education.
There is something there,
but it's not too accurate and
rather little.
Anyway , I hope they learn at least something...
I hoped that Islam said that they had to
be nice for animals instead of..
(choose something yourself) |
| |
I found it strange...
To see a zoo like this.
I did expect to find better ,
because Jogya is a university city ,
lots of students studying veterinarian.
Where are they? |
| |
The vieuw on the local garbish dump
is free and can be enjoyed behind the
tiger enclosure.
See , the zoo is not a place to visit...
a sad place.
I refused to see the orangutans used
in a circus show.
I hope one day this will stop. |
