The zoo you visited made the habitat conducive to contentment for the animals, but I wonder what those animals did during the Swedish winters. <br /><br />I mostly believe that the only reason to take animals out of their habitat is to keep them from going extinct.<br />And because of poaching in Africa and other places, many animals are on the brink of extinction, so we need zoos.<br /><br />Peace.Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00612299013780771262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271959060195052715.post-7596776011107551852012-05-01T08:45:22.542-07:002012-05-01T08:45:22.542-07:00Hi Inger .. great sharing your day out with your f...Hi Inger .. great sharing your day out with your friend .. a very special time.

That's what really kept me going, because I got very, very tired at times. And while I had a few posts written in advance, there were a whole lot of them that I had to write during the month. Phew, I am so glad I made it. <br />I wondered too where the animals to in the winter. Of course, many of them have to be indoors and I didn't think to ask at the time or to look for indoor facilities. I am curious, so I will try to find out.Ingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02924736131382149056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271959060195052715.post-83907790483518742782012-04-30T13:36:33.309-07:002012-04-30T13:36:33.309-07:00Lovely photos.

It's got to be open spaces for me to be interested. I'm curious, though. Surely, in the Winter, the animals can't be out roaming around there in the snow and cold. Do they have indoor facilities for them to stay in when it's too miserable outside? I bet they do.Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17692541935507155362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271959060195052715.post-17601242976598552942012-04-30T11:31:22.889-07:002012-04-30T11:31:22.889-07:00Inger, I have LOVED learning about Swedish culture...Inger, I have LOVED learning about Swedish cultures and traditions but more importantly, I have loved learning about YOU! ...that has been a true highlight!<br />Congrats on making it to the end and I look forward to now hearing about your everyday life!Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12795817810030681267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271959060195052715.post-69662178247501539812012-04-30T11:14:41.840-07:002012-04-30T11:14:41.840-07:00What a fun way to finish.
