Zoos and the animals that are too lazy to escape

We walked a short way out of town to check out the zoo as it was recommended in the guide books, as a very pleasant surprise it’s conditions were better than many first world zoos that we have seen,  most of the enclosures were ample in size.  It was definitely worth a trip as we now know what animals we won’t be seeing when we visit the Amazon.  The enclosures were however, not particularly well sealed. However the animals seemed to be able to escape the enclosures as we saw spider monkeys playing in the trees by the path, a Condor was perched on top of the enclosure whether attracted by the calls of those in the cage or an actual escapee was open to interpretation.  Finally the most obvious was the capybara wandering along the walk way that scampered away when it spotted us.
