yeah i know. he never gets exersized there, except blinking. he just sat there staring at the ppl outside of the glass, and gave the occasional (shocking) blinks and flick of the tongue. i hate seeing animals in zoos. if i worked there i would take him for a walk every day........lol.......j/k......;)

Is that the one that got famous for bitting Sharon Stone’s husband?
The Lisbon zoo has a fat one just like that. He looks tame but i’m sure that he would attack if given the chance.

Yeah, that’s why I hate zoos. Even with something that’s in such short supply, they still can’t be bothered to care for it properly, so you can bet that the cheaper, more replaceable animals aren’t a very high priority either as long as people keep bringing money. If one of us posted a picture on the monitor forum of a water or savanna that looked like that people would be all over him, but if a zoo screws up his heart, liver, and kidneys with fatty buildup trying to set a weight record that’s perfectly acceptible. Because it must be okay! Because zoos do it! I get that an Ohio facility can’t provide the same care that a Los Angeles facility can, but you know what? Get over it. Any monitor I tried to take care of would probably look just like that, so you know what my solution is? I don’t have one.

zoos in the AZA are good. (association of zoos and aquariums) they have to take care of animals to standards and stuff. the zoo near me got kicked out of it a couple of years ago, and it’s awful. a hippo, giraffe, and capybara have all died within the last few months. reptiles are kept in rooms without light for months at a time, and they just got found out for it. they’re either funding it a lot and giving it a new owner to do good, or shutting the whole thing down.
it’s really quite sad though :[

anyway. i just thought i’d say that.
but not all captivity is bad <3 some people really do care, and do things right.

Isn’t the Toledo Zoo one of the top ten in the country?toledo zoo You can check out this link... I believe they are always upgrading the enclosures.. the Arctic encounter... the African safari....all zoo animals are "on display" the komodo dragon exhibit is quite large all things considered... Who is going to be the one to take the dragon for a walk?lol

I’m not suggesting they walk it. Just feed it less. Or feed it a leaner diet. Or keep it warmer. Or import some fast-running little children from Komodo, instead of feeding it those lazy, easy-to-catch American ones that just sit there and play video games while it eats them.

I have to agree with the sea lion comment. That thing is obese!

The one at the San Diego zoo is significantly leaner.
