I guess I'm spoiled growing up in Memphis and going to the zoo there. The Nashville zoo is aesthetically beautiful, however they just don't have enough animals. There are NO: elephants, chimps, gorillas, hippos, polar bears, sea lions, penguins, lions, panda bears, wolves, or camels, just to no name a few. I was so disappointed that a wealthy major city like Nashville, the home of country music, has such a poor zoo. However, on the bright side they do have about 40 acres of undeveloped land. So there is hope for the future.
