    Advice for visiting Chicago?

    Hi Everyone, A friend of mine is moving to Chicago, and I’m hoping to visit them for a long weekend later this year. Since I’ve never been to Chicago, I’d love to get some advice on the zoos in the area. I know Brookfield Zoo, Lincoln Park Zoo, Shedd Aquarium, and the Field Museum are popular...

    How would You Change the Brookfield Zoo?

    I’m from Texas, I have been to the Brookfield Zoo when I was young. And it was a really cool zoo. As much as the Brookfield Zoo is one of the best Zoos in the US, there has arguably been some outdated exhibits and empty spaces over the past recent years, and I think that it’s time for the...

    Most Species rich city (Best cities for zoos)

    I know there have been threads before of the best cities for zoos, however those are all mostly subjective. I know that the number of species is not the best indicator of quality, however, looking at Shedd and Berlin, I somewhat question that. Nonetheless, I was noticing that some cities in...

    Electric Yellow Cichlid at Shedd Aquarium

    So I know this is a Cichlid. And I am pretty sure it is a African Cichlid. So the question is what species is this one exactly? Shedd Aquarium didn't name all the cichlid species they had. Pretty much like every aquarium I been to -_-. So can anyone tell me which species this one is? Thanks!
