I am going on a trip to Indianapolis this week, and I am really trying to squeeze in a visit to the zoo while I am there. I am arriving this Wednesday, and returning home on Monday. My original plan was to go to the zoo on Sunday, but now my weather app is predicting that it will be raining...

I was considering going to the zoo a few days ago, until I saw that it was going to rain. This made me wonder what you all thought about going to the zoo in different weather conditions (rain, snow, sun, etc). The average zoo-goer would probably only go on a nice, sunny day. But there are...

One of the few Australian freshwater crocodiles in Europe. Frankfurt zoo keeps four of these in a spacious pool in their Exotarium. It even rains frequently in this exhibit ;-)
