Vintage Zoo Pictures: Columbus Zoo 1985

Next in our vintage zoo pictures series is from probably my favorite zoo. These pictures of the Columbus Zoo were taken in 1985. The zoo has changed so much since then. It's amazing to see the transformation. What along way it has come.Check out the giraffe exhibit which is where the current Asia Quest area sits. I also spy some goats in the petting farm which used to be on the opposite of the zoo. The back of the gorilla pictures says the animal is actually a twin!

Vintage Zoo Pictures: San Diego Zoo 1984

This is the start of a new series of posts I've titled Vintage Pictures! I was digging through a couple of my parent's old photo albums when I stumbled across a couple of gems: classic zoo pictures from the mid 80s. In fact, our first batch of pictures were taken at the San Diego Zoo in 1984. You can see the small, plain, old style exhibits for the Asian elephants, giraffes, and hippos. The San Diego Zoo has definitely come a long way. Enjoy and stay tuned for more vintage zoo pictures. Also, be sure to subscribe to my YouTube page and Twitter for all the latest updates!
