ItsModella: see as the eagle looks like street chicken, a whole eagle...na wa.

Eko Atlantic: We've got a zoologist as the president, this is where he should be.

abes: I remember aruna...

delors: Was there in 1996-1997-ish and one of my friends passed out when we went to the reptile room and he saw the indian python (last in the glass cage)...we had to rush him out and left him somewhere while we continued our tour. I enjoyed watching the gorilla ('Imade': dead and embalmed) and the chimps. We made the peacock and vulture spread their feathers and wings respectively becos we threw stone pebbles at them (c'mon, what do u expect from curious high school students? ).
Good to know they are taking care of the zoo. then, we paid N5 for a group of 3 students.
Good old days - Loyola College, Ibadan.

Abrantie: -

I give that zoological garden 3 months, all those exhibits will end up in pepper soup.

ItsModella: The zoo looks well maintained and has more variety of animals unlike the PH and Benin zoos I visited. Those ones are apologies.

dominique: Nice pics madam. I noticed there are two categories of lions (hasn't changed since my visit in '07) , the ones in cages and the ones in open field. The ones in cages are look bored and hungry while the ones in the field look well fed. I understand the ones on the field were donated by a conservative agency in Kenya. Why can't they put all the lions in one place (field) and promote inbreeding or somn?

anitank: That eagle looks like a vulture

I-B.:


About the lions, I think they are taking care of them well.

Just a lion was there at first.
Returning there in 2008 they have increased to I think 5
Presently they should be up to 8 or 9 and now in different cages, some are indoor and others outdoor.
They are the last I should be uploading

dominique:


Reminds of the thread okija_juju did on ph zoo. Everybody kept asking, where are the animal?
