The shortlist is in!
You have 1 month to vote in this poll of zoochat's best pre-2000's *chosen by YOU!*
. 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 you like. It would be nice, also, if you could put the reason why you're voting for a particular photo too!
Photo 1:
Nominated by TeaLovingDave who says "The following image taken by bongorob of a captive Hainan Black-crested Gibbon seems appropriate, considering this taxon is potentially only a few short years from extinction - in which case it will be the first known ape species to go extinct since Homo floresiensis some 12,000 years ago."
Photo 2:
Nominated by Gentle lemur who says "My nomination is this image of 'Siam' the very large bull Indian elephant at Vincennes. I saw him a couple of times in the '70s and he was one of the most impressive animals that I have ever seen. I wish I had managed to get a photo as good as this one." Taken by Steve Romo and posted by Middle Man
Photo 3:
Nominated by LaughingDove who said "I shall nominate this picture of a whyte's barbet by vogelcommando.
Great picture of a fantastic subject!" Taken by vogelcommando.
Photo 4:
Nominated by Brum who said his "My nomination is for the following image of Cuddles the killer whale by Gentle Lemur, mainly because I can't quite believe the pool held a whale at one point!" Taken by Gentle Lemur.
And Finally... Photo 5:
Nominated by Macaw16 of Gemsbok from 1987 taken at Toronto Zoo by Hix.
Thanks for all the nominations and good luck nominees, GET VOTING NOW! Poll closes 29/07/15

Best Vintage Zoochat photo! Thank you also Gentle lemur for nominating this photo and everyone who go involved. Let's make sure this is a part of a growing interest in vintage photography, and make sure we preserve zoo history! I encourage all members to scan and upload all your vintage photographs. Well done Steve Romo and Middle Man!
