The Zoo - Wildlife's Showcase

"...tamed behind bars to cheers and awe,

 now an orphan if we only know."

Dr Abe V Rotor

 

    Tiger Cub - no room to play, no playmate,     

Tiger on the floor for the queen;
     on the wall a hunter's pride,
   emblems and wears and everywhere, 
save the tiger in the wild.   

Young Philippine Eagle displays deadly claws and fierce eyes   

Among the biggest birds in the world,
this monkey-eating eagle once called,
tamed behind bars to cheers and awe,
 now an orphan if we only know.
  

 Reticulated python glistens with new skin after molting 

It waits for the next meal docile or asleep, 
this master of camouflage in the wild,
while a stream of guests come to view; 
comforting its seems for being mild.
