Failing To Find Reality At The Surabaya Zoo

Zoos, by their definition, aren't a true reality for their captive residents. Animals in cages, species found continents apart now living next to each other. Surabaya has a decent zoo, a meandering property full of enclosures that try to look natural.

Morning feeding at the elephant enclosure, the painted background looking a little like a vintage Hollywood rear projection setup.

Part of a tiger. Flora, some real, some not.

Large rocky waterfall display for some sort of animal. Minus the creatures, water and real rocks.

Some real animals, cropped.

Nature, caged. An aviary.
