The Pretoria Zoo

Previous | Home | Next

The Pretoria Zoo is one of the best in the world. Considering the crowds the Sunday we visited, the zoo seems also very popular. The collection of animals includes some very rare species, the zoo has very successful breeding programs, and the newer habitats are really nice. We were able to see the feeding of the huge cape vultures and the North American alligators (!). Very impressive was also the huge kodiak, who kept checking out the visitors, standing on his hind legs and leaning against the glass.
