|  | If you don't like zoo's , just go and have a look at the spectacular entrance of the zoo. It is located in Villa Borghese , not that far from the famous museum. |
|  |
The parc is rather small , but perfect if you want to escape the mass tourism for an afternoon. I always want to see the zoo , it tells me a lot about the locals I think. |
|  | If it comforts you , Bioparco is doing well. After having a reputation of really bad zoo , times are changing.
They are now enlarging enclosures , removing old exhibits and renovating the nice ones. |
|  | I was a bit dissapointed that the historical reptile house was in renovation. But I bet it is going to look great. It got a round chape and the crocodiles are getting a new exhibit in the middle of that.
I bet it is going to look quit spectacular. |
|  |
Probably the most elegant animals...
But the award for the nicest enclosures got to the 'lions , chimpanzees and bears.'. |
|  | This little fellow was alone in his large swimming pool , will he get company , or just move to a new spot.
I'll just have to find out next time when I visit Rome. |
