Description
Families and zoos seem to go together. I went to the Cincinnati Zoo in the late 1960s with my girlfriend. I had always felt our local zoo was well designed with natural surroundings, but now see it as a lot of concrete barriers. Still much better than cages and bars.
I can just imagine the father holding the child saying how he was going to place her on the animals back, to sit with her legs wide and hold onto the horns. Even if that wasn't the case, I wonder how traumatic it was to the child was being held so close to the edge, and how huge the beast was to her.
