John, The Detroit Zoo was on my summer travel list but the Covid issue in Michigan ended the trip. HOPEFULLY, your officials will allow things to be open this summer - The Dream Cruise and the Zoo.

Thank you very much, Dalek. Combining those two would be a nice package. Hopefully both come off. Opening the zoo will occur gradually and it's already started but with limited attendance that requires going to the website and requesting tickets. That practice may be in place for a while. Be sure to see the Penguin exhibit, tigers, arctic ring of life and the wolves. Many others too.

Thanks - perhaps a zoo is the lesser of two evils for tigers - poaching and trapping these animals has become big business. Keep safe, Del.

Love your shots. The last one certainly would make me glad there was glass or a moat between those teeth and me.

Thanks for commenting, cdayton. I agree with you in that animals that can survive in the wild should be there for a full natural life. However these guys were born in captivity and would not survive in the wild. This is not a gage. It is a 1.3 acre forested habitat with a flowing stream and pond (Amur tigers like water) and for having to live in a zoo they have it made. There are only about 500 in the wild so the species is highly threatened.
Beautiful animals! I sort of agree about caged animals, but if they are in a good habitat, the good zoos do for endangered species is marvelous!
