The pittsburgh zoo is extremely hilly and is a great place to get a workout! Most of the exhibits and environments are small and do not look too stimulating, and many of the animals, especially the primates looked pretty sad and bored with their tiny enclosures. I felt sad for them. I heard a couple of kids commenting excitedly when they FINALLY saw an animal awake and not looking too miserable.
We did however meet one pretty lively mammal, a sea lion!
I'm curious to return to the Singapore zoo and see how that has changed since I was last there- maybe 15 years ago?!

It's cold water but who cares!
