Oh, now I want a pet giraffe. Looks like a quality zoo.

As zoos go it's quite all right. They were the first zoo in the world to build a mixed species savannah habitat. The giraffes share the enclosure with elephants, buffaloes, zebras, several species of antelope, ostriches and guineafowl. The entire zoo started with some dude who brought an orphan lion cub with him from Africa and started charging people to look at it. Eventually the lion got a bit big for his house so he convinced the city to allot land for a zoo. www.borasboras.se/pics/2PrBerS…
I went there with the school I worked in back in June for the first time in probably 20 years. More pics to come.
