Woodland Park Zoo

"It speaks volumes about Seattle's role in cyberspace that our local zoo's web page can be found at the simple URL of www.zoo.org. While not a particularly excitingly constructed website, the 'virtual tour' does have a first rate collection of photos of the animal denizens of Woodland Park Zoo, and there are some good articles on the zoo's role in conservation.

"There is also (under Information) a good collection of links to other zoos' websites. However, there is a surprising lack of taking advantage of the web to show animals in the wild, provide information about how these animals live in the wild, or even to link to sites which might fill in this void."
