Zoo sights in San Francisco

  1. A

    San Francisco Zoo

    Even those who object to zoos in theory have been known to break down and take kids here after being begged for, oh, the thousandth time - only to discover that, actually, there are some well-kept habitats here, including a Savannah featuring giraffes, zebras, ostriches and other African wildlife.

    On Christmas day 2007 the zoo made headlines for all the wrong reasons when a Siberian tiger escaped from its enclosure, killing one person and injuring two others.
