They have totally changed that zoo in recent years it is mind-blowing, When I lived in Charlotte that was one of my favorite zoos but I haven't been there since like 2008. I remember when I was a kid that used to have Polar Bears where the Grizzly Bears are and in the back exhibits Beside the Lions and the Tigers they used to have a Spectacled Bear which I have never seen at any other zoo. I don't know if they still have them but they also used to have Ibexes and Hamadrayas Baboons over there. They also used to have a Hippopotamus where the Malayan Tapirs are now and where the Babirusas are now they used to have Warthogs.

I suppose I did kind of leave that open ended, huh?😁😁 While there are probably other areas that I don't recall all the details of while being there, my main disagreements would have to do with the evolutionary biology and the age of the universe. I believe God created the world and while many studies have led some to believe the need for millions of years, there are other studies that explain why that amount of time isn't necessary. At the end of the day, both sides have to trust in a constant that predates our ability to study with observable science.

Those animals look absolutely bored and un-stimulated. Don’t have a zoo if you’re not going to allocate the necessary space for those animals to roam properly. That’s absolutely ghastly the conditions they’re in. In the wild they find natural ways to stimulate their curiosity. That’s impossible in a small confine!
@johnnyreb53452 жыл бұрын
I live near this zoo and been to it multiple times, and I totally agree, the zoo has very little space, and very unnatural looking habitats, every time I go the animals always look so depressed and not very active. I even went to a summer behind the scenes camp, and they really didn't do much as far as enrichment. It's sad honestly.
@sadepennbrook2 жыл бұрын
@@johnnyreb5345 I’ve lived in Greenville for nearly twenty years and I never bothered visiting the zoo. I generally hate the idea of zoos. Although I understand that sometimes they’re necessary for conservation. I got curious at some point because all I’ve ever seen of Greenville Zoo are pictures and the exhibits always seemed awfully small to me, even when they try tricking the audience with a wide angle lens. I was going to visit to see for myself. But after watching this video, the only thing I’ll be doing is calling the mayor’s office or whomever is willing to listen. Either invest in expansion or transfer the animals to a better equipped zoo. This is ridiculous. Day in day out, these animals are living in perpetual boredom and constriction! How can people not see it?! Lions have on average less than 18k miles in a zoo than they would in the wild. Although no zoo can obviously match that, Greenville’s zoo is not big enough for even a decent baseline!
