vintage

Animal Giants was an exhibit that had Asian Elephants, African Elephants, White Rhinos, and oddly enough, a Rhea. The exhibits were demolished and replaced by Elephant Encounter in 2005.

A 1836 still-standing structure at Into Africa.

A reticulated giraffe (Giraffa reticulata)

Tiger (subspecies?)

Komodo dragon

Californian sea lions.

Asian elephant; The Gorillas museum and the red kangaroo exhibit are where this exhibit used to be. That's 6-year old me, BTW.

American alligators.

Circa 2000; Griffon vultures, ostrich and some sort of sable antelope.

Circa 2000; Bengal tiger (I think...)

The shortlist is in! You have 1 month to vote in this poll of zoochat's best pre-2000's *chosen by YOU!* :p . I will post all five photos with a piece of relevant information(I hope). I have said that the photos should be nostalgic and have a story, but feel free to vote because of any reason...

I know we've already had a best photo competition, but this is different! I want to find out which is zoochat's favourite pre-2000 took photo. The photo should have an interesting story, and even better if personal to the photographer. It does not have to be technically good, but... enjoyable...
