Exploring the old abandoned zoo in Los Angeles and comparing then and now.
This was one of the coolest places I explored in Los Angeles hands down. The old Griffith Park Zoo closed down in the 1960's and what remains are a collection of ridiculously small cages for the size of the animals that used to be housed in them and some really cool bear grottos. From what I gather, that is also one of the reasons why the entire zoo was moved 2 miles up the road. They simply had outgrown the area and those cages! - Do to new regulations. I had some fun with this video and gave it an eerie vibe but in all actuality this place is pretty fun and peaceful. A definite go to for people on sunny weekends. That may explain the random picnic tables in the bears cove! If you want to see the abandoned zoo for yourself, its pretty much next to the new one. Just keep driving down the road, park your car in the lot, and its right there. Anyone walking or jogging will know exactly where it is. Probably not a great night hike though : )

Very good video and music. When I saw that polar bear in LA how hot he must have been. When I was very young I remember walking down a line of cages (cells) with different cats bears, and gorillas etc. We didn't know any better as kids but I'm glad most places have improved now!

I explored that bear exhibit years ago before the pit got filled in, I came as a child, and many years later stumbled onto that place by accident as an adult while exploring around, totally blew my mind, I did not know it was there. The choice for back round music was dead on

I discovered the old LA zoo quite by accident when I was a kid in 1969. They used to keep sick and malnourished animals in those cages, with no one in attendance except for some stray coyotes passing through. It was a death camp then, and a disgrace even now. Ugh!

@missyannp36 3 жыл бұрын

@Frost Rusher That is so sad. This is one of the reasons I do not support zoos. I live close to Sea World in Florida and that's another place that I will not visit. It's one thing to have these animals that can't go back into the wild for a real reason, but to keep these animals and breed them over and over is a so sad. I also understand that some animals are going extinct but the zoo only breeds them for financial gain.

I despise Zoo's. I really believe if people would respect the earth, respect animals and respect each other there would be no need for them. While I entirely understand the basis behind them at this point in our world history I know if people really cared we could reverse all of this. This made me very, very sad...but it was still well done. Thank you.

What a sad existence for those poor animals. 😥. They are made to roam free and instead they were brought to that prison just for people to go and stare at them. I hope each of those animals that lived their life there, had a second chance in another life and got to live free.

I totally against with the concept of zoos It's an imprisonment for animals... Especially nowadays because TVs and the internet are enough to educate people about animals so no need to give them this tormenting life time punishment keeping them as objects on display.
