点评:The zoo was opened in 1907. It is the oldest zoo in California and the smallest accredited zoo in the nation. At first it primarily housed native species such as elk and deer. But soon an aviary and more exotic species were added including bear, lion, camel and, most famously, chimpanzees. Bill the Chimp came in 1957 when school children collected coins to buy him from a circus. Bill lived in the zoo as a beloved character and finger painted until age 60. Admission for the little zoo seemed a bit high. It is $25 a person. A two dollar discount was given to seniors. That was almost an insult to old people. However, the ticket is good for the skywalk too. We did the skywalk, and as old-timers it was much exercise. We did spend some time with the Bears. It is a beautiful area.
翻译:该动物园于 1907 年开放。它是加州最古老的动物园,也是全美最小的认证动物园。起初,它主要饲养麋鹿和鹿等本土物种。但很快便增加了一个鸟舍,并饲养了更多外来物种,包括熊、狮子、骆驼,最著名的是黑猩猩。黑猩猩比尔于 1957 年到来,当时学生们收集硬币从一个马戏团买下了它。比尔是动物园里深受喜爱的角色,并用手指作画,直到 60 岁。这个小动物园的门票似乎有点高。每人 25 美元。老年人可享受 2 美元的折扣。这几乎是对老年人的侮辱。但是,这张票也可以用于天空步道。我们走了天空步道,作为老年人,我们锻炼了很多。我们确实花了一些时间和熊在一起。这是一个美丽的地方。
