  • @jsand93 go wiki it, see the difference

  • @Guaranteedfresh1 I have to agree with you. It really is the best zoo ive ever been to in my entire life. Especially the fact that its free, and its gonna stay free, shows that St. Louis really cares about its people. I'll love this city till I die.

  • @jsand93 there are also giant chinese salamanders you idiot

  • st. louis zoo is one of the nicest caring zoos ive ever been too, great place to go and it is free!

  • @slickdrummer Amphibians are Chordates. what you mean is that they Pre-date the Amniotic tetropods . bearing far more resemblance to the eariler stegacephalian fishes then to any land animal proper.

  • why the fuck would you put your hand by it? haha It has poor vision but compensates for this via sensory cells that run along its face and lateral line that can detect vibration. It might appear mal-adapted, mind you amphibian pre-existed chordates and are only becoming endangered through our ignorance.

  • i would love to see a battle between a giant salamander and a panda.

  • i can assure that st louis zoo takes very good care of their animals. they were AZA accredited for a reason =)

  • lol yea thats definitely not its exhibit, the aquarium it lives in is very beautiful with rockwork and lives with other species. the st louis zoo is one of the top zoos; it actually AZA accredited. besides a zoo would not put an animal in a tank like that for public display.
