Akron Zoo

This jaguar posed.

From my angle, this Sumatran tiger seemed to have a large head.

There was a garden, partly devoted to monarch butterflies. This is a sculpture of  one in the caterpillar stage. One of the great photo-ops throughout the park. You can sit on it and pretend cowboy.

perhaps the stateside descendant of the Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog

A very well kept building is the Komodo Kingdom, with a Curious Animal display. chameleon supra

Barn owls are the most wide spread of all owls. They are night time hunters of grasslands, and one of six that can be naturally found in Ohio, but not great numbers, They are among the North American animals in the park.

I was mesmerised by moon jellyfish. They were behind a window, and oddly they continued to float upwards, i don't know if there was a loop they travelled.

From a couple of spots, the smokestacks (2 on the left) of the old BF Goodrich tire factory could be seen. There is a current issue of there impending demolition.

For a three hour comfortable walking tour, one can see the entire park. It is well landscaped, clean, compact, and very friendly. There are changes in elevation, they are gradual enough. There are many polite and informed volunteers. There are play spots for children. It is a very well designed zoo.
