My entry:
We visited yesterday the Biopark in Fuengirola Spain
I normally wouldn’t visit a zoo for many reasons, but this zoo is different. It has space for the animals. They can run around almost freely, lots of area and nature. Rivers and waterfalls. So many trees that it almost feels like wandering through a jungle. They are well cared for. Luckily.
High up in one of the trees I spotted this Golden bearded Gibbon. It was enjoying itself.
The day was rather warm, as it is summer in south Spain, but being under the trees in the shade made it almost comfortable. A nice breeze was going through the area.
It is nice to see the animals here are well cared for. So it didn’t make it too hard to have a look around. I was showing hubby the zoo, as he had not visited it yet in his 15 years being around here.
It was a lovely day out. 😎
Enjoy your Monday @phortun 👋🏻
Thank your for this great entry and interesting personal write up as always! :) Honestly, my relation with zoos is also complicated, I guess for the same reasons like yours or any other nature lover´s but it always makes me happy to find out about a sanctuary or similar facility where the animals really have the chance to live happy and cofmortable lives. This one in Fuengirola looks exactly like this, at least from what you wrote ;) Thanks again, have a lovely day!
I think we have the same thoughts there… but this one is different luckily. Otherwise I sure wouldn’t go. Not supporting animal cruelty. It is nice to see there are parks created around the animals and not just animals put in small cages. Going crazy and running in circles.
They looked happy and very healthy. Lots of little babies around all different kinds.
I visited many many years ago, must be 10 years now, and it so changed even more now. The nature grew more vast… and I saw the animals thriving.
Thank you kindly 👋🏻You are welcome @phortun 😁
I´m so happy to hear all of this ;) Thank you for sharing these great news with us!
You are welcome @phortun 😊 enjoy your evening!
