Very nice photos. Visit a zoo is a bittersweet experience for me. At least these animals seem well cared for.
I heard they try to exchange their animals for breeding to other zoos in the world. I believe these animals are took good care of.
Myau Myau San you’ve captured those animals so beautifully in your photographs. If it wasn’t for these zoos many of these animals wouldn’t exist. Virginia
Thank you for comment! I hear that after the World War II many countries gave animals at Ueno zoo i order to make Japanse children be happy to see them; elephants Indira (Mr. Nehru gave her from India) and Hanako from Thailand, and a lion from US, then they gave an enthusiastic welcome. In my childhood, it was a special day for me to go to Ueno zoo.
I love the photos, the tiger shot is my favorite!
Thank you very mush. When I went to the tiger’s room, he/she came close and sad down. It was a good chance to take a photo for me.
