Budapest zoo










Marc and I have been running around Budapest, and enjoyed the zoo. Some of the most modern exhibits we have seen, with lots of different views to see the animals, and flexible cage wires so you can squeeze your camera in to get that perfect shot.  We were surprised by a lack of training/enrichment; but that seems to be a cultural thing in europe.  Many facilities try to make enclosures very natural and be hands off with animals.  I don't agree; if an animal is in captivity than I think using any technique to make them more comfortable and at ease working around humans is in the animals interest.
