:( I really what the black and white does for this shot. It makes it really bleak. I definitely know what you mean about the zoo.

I agree with you!

@Craiger: Some of the animals really don´t look quite happy...

Gutes Foto und guter Titel! Ich denke der Käfig muss den neuesten Erkenntnissen nach neugebaut werden.

@vu@granby - Wolfgang Prigge: In der Tat, hier in Wuppertal wird gerade ein neues Gehege für die Pinguine gebaut.

@MadScientist: Ja, man hätte sich glatt dazu setzen mögen :-(
Nur die Schärfe ist bei diesem Bild nicht so gut...

Michael Rawluk from Prince George, Canada

I am not a big zoo fan. He looks so sad.

@Michael Rawluk: Sometimes I feel the same; but most of the zoo´s are improving the enclosures.

danthro from Suburbia, United States

your title captures the exact feeling I got from the photo before I even saw the title.

MaryB from Staffordshire, United Kingdom

Poor little thing he looks so sad, I wonder what he's thinking.

@MaryB: Yes, indded! You may wish to sit right beside him, don´t you? ;-)

Rebecca from Leicester, United Kingdom

Oh dear, my heart really goes out to this sad little one. His expression really speaks so much!

@Rebecca: Thanks for your visit, Rebecca! He looks so sad and depressed.

Gary from Cochise County, United States

Excellent expression you got. I agree the black and white accents the despair. I like going to the zoo but once I get there I start to feel bad about it and end up leaving early.

@Gary: Thank you, Gary!

Elisa from Massachusetts, United States

so sad... :(

@Elisa: Yep, not more to say...

Japanalia from Yokohama, Japan

No...I wouldn't say it is sad, how do we know it?! Some of these animals are born in captivity, so they know nothing about the world outside their cages. And while they are there, for many of the species, there's still a hope that they may survive. Think what happens to so many of them in their natural habitat!!!!
I'd propse a test project...take some of those people who go to hunt them on safaris or just go poaching and put them in zoos, treat them the same way. Might this bring a change???????I wonder!

@Japanalia: Hmmm, hard to say... Maybe we like to humanize the animals sometimes to much?
