This is a follow-up to the Zoologico Amaru post Sally did earlier. It contains a series of photographs I did for the Director of Economics at the Zoo for the zoo to use for publicity and fundraising. This is not your typical zoo. The Zoologico Amaru is one of the most interesting zoos we have ever visited. About 15 minutes out of town the zoo is literally carved from the side of a mountain consequently there is a lot of climbing, breaks for spectacular vistas, and surprises around every bend of the path. The animals are housed in natural habitats and can be observed in an environment that is most comfortable for them. The sign clearly states that the primary purpose of the zoo is to provide sanctuary and peace for the animals.  To get a good photograph of some of the animals is extremely difficult. The photographs attached are for you to enjoy. Feel free to copy if you would like.
