  • The food given to the animals, such as the porcupines, is exposed to rain and sun.
  • The bears' retiring cubicle is too small and does not provide privacy.

  • The peacocks' enclosure is bare and cluttered with debris.
  • The stream which runs through the zoo is filled with trash.
  • One group of tigers is kept in small cages placed behind the white tigers' enclosure. The tigers seem agitated by each others' presence.
