I am riveted by The Zoo on Animal Planet,

usually on Saturday nights. All about the Bronx Zoo, which looks amazing! Having recently visited the Melbourne, FL, zoo, no comparison.

Each episode profiles a few animals and what is going on in their world, from births to illnesses to deaths, diseases, fun, and education of the public. Plus, it's great to see how involved the staff is in the animals. Heartwarming.

I highly recommend it!

This very moment the staff is making a bed for a polar bear.
