I made the trip today to the Zoo in Kansas City to get some photos of animals that you don’t find in Missouri.  While it was a nicely laid out, clean zoo, I found myself to be disappointed with it.  The animals were well cared for, but mostly they were in cages, rather than habitats.  The cage bars, and fencing made it almost impossible to photos of the large animals.  The smaller animals were behind Plexiglas.   My last trip to the zoo in St. Louis had many of the animals in habitats that allowed view from above, so that the large animals couldn’t escape, but also allowed for unobstructed views.
