My hub on Surabaya Zoo is the last in my series on zoos in Java. Although there was much to be critical about, the Surabaya Zoo was in fact one of the better collections.... especially after the miserable places in central Java.

I wish I could find something good to say about Semarang Zoo but I cannot other than saying that it is a little better than Baturraden Zoo. The most 'interesting' fact about this collection was that it had literally just moved to the site at the time of my visit and yet was already dropping to...
