Old zoo photos

[Trebaruna]

I´ve bought a film/slide-scanner recently and i'm digitalizing some old photos now. Every now and then i stubble upon a couple of photos made in zoos. So far all dutch zoos (Harderwijk, burgers, wassenaar, ouwehand), but i guess i'll find some of antwerp to. I was only born in 83, so the oldest photos are not mine, but my parents'
For those interested, check; Zoos in the Past :: Fotopic.Net

Some examples;
Burgers in 1982;

giraffe in the enclosure that is now home to bongos and duikers. (in the background you see the green orang-building)

Dolfinarium Harderwijk 1991;

False killer whales.

Wassenaar 1981;

Giraffes (G.c.antiquorum)

I'm far from done, so you might have to check later again for new stuff.
