North Carolina Zoo Shuts Down Bear Exhibit
Asheboro, NC - The North Carolina Zoo’s grizzly bear exhibit will be closed for about a week while workmen install a weather shelter for the bears. The bear-exhibit closing does not affect the other zoo exhibits and regions, which generally remain open through their normal winter hours of 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. Visitors are reminded to check the zoo’s Web site at www.nczoo.org for other routine temporary closings. The zoo is an agency of the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources, William G. Ross Jr., Secretary; Michael F. Easley, Governor. |

I think we should move on from having dolphins in captivity now - we all know this isn't good for them.
The Pacaya Samiria National Reserve is a magical place. The flora, fauna, remoteness and beauty are exquisite. Another interesting aspect is how the indigenous people there live.
