I'll be diving for delicious spiny lobster this summer in the Florida Keys! #nifkin

I think zoos need to put more effort into conserving species in the wild before they need to be bred in zoos. #nifkin

@FollowNifkin They can be used for educational purposes. Also, many rehab places use unreleaseable adults to raise abandoned babies #nifkin

@FollowNifkin It's a stretch, but I don't think birds should be in zoos. They fly up to hundreds of miles per day; they cant in zoos #nifkin

@writingasjoe Modern zoos are shifting towards more natural exhibits that mimic the animal's habitat more closely #nifkin

[Alli Smith @Acorns4ever]

@FollowNifkin @LiddleDanielle @Bexoxo92 There could be if they had fewer species #nifkin

@MadiCapp like putting all, say, wetland animals in a single area, as opposed to having a reptile house, mammal area, etc? #nifkin

[Alli Smith @Acorns4ever]

But interacting with captive animals teaches kids that it's okay to interact with wild animals, which could be dangerous #nifkin

[Alli Smith @Acorns4ever]

@FollowNifkin Animals that are endangered in the wild and need breeding programs to replenish their populations would be ideal #nifkin

[Alli Smith @Acorns4ever]

@Bexoxo92 Zoos with native animals can be great places to teach kids about the nature around them #nifkin

Check out our video on zoo breeding programs! #nifkin http://t.co/9Z04KnM2Sc

@FollowNifkin Shelter! Those animals need homes, and it's cheaper too! #nifkin

My family adopted a puppy from a shelter last week! We don't know his family history, but we wanted to give a home to a dog in need #nifkin

The grey wolves are growing up! What does the tooth fairy bring a wolf?! @ Rosamond Gifford Zoo http://t.co/NzD58Qttzt

If we get big shade trees, I want tire swings! It might be childish, but I think we need some way to play and relax #nifkin

The milk of a hippopotamus is pink. I'd like this to be common knowledge by the end of the night. Thank you. #nifkin

Unusual for mammals, an elephants testes are located inside its body. #nifkin http://t.co/W74rFvb3Tl

At birth, a panda weighs 4 ounces and is smaller than a mouse! http://t.co/RGEiiCfxhz #nifkin
