A friend and I went to the Higashiyama Zoo and Botanical Garden in Nagoya in early January. Luckily on the day we went the weather was quite nice. Prior to going I found out it is one of the largest Zoo's in Asia; it was MASSIVE. We walked around for a good three or four hours and didn't see everything. We saw many more life forms than there are in the pictures; including all kinds of reptiles, plants, birds, fish, etc.
Near the beginning we were looking at elephants while they were drinking water, and of course what happens? One of them starts to blow/sneeze water from it's trunk onto the people. :o One woman standing in front got a good bit of all the water and elephant snot.
Later, we where heading into the rhino room and we entered and left immediately becuase the smell was so bad as soon as we walked through the door. Perhaps the zoo should get some more vents put in that building or just clean up the poop. We also a few really colorful paretes. They were cool, as I haven't seen any of the since Nicaragua.
The Zoo also has a tower that rises about 100 meters off the ground with restaruants on top, but we didn't go up there becuase it cost money to get to the top.
