A Look Back In History: Seals At Prospect Park Zoo, Circa 1950's

Here is a real glimpse back in time, dear Reader. I found this photo of the seals in the Prospect Park Zoo, circa 1950's. Though it is a terrific document, it does make me rather sad to see the seals sitting on those bare concrete blocks. It is amazing how much we have learned about creating habitats for animals in captivity. Of course today, the zoo in Prospect Park has been vastly improved.

And here is another photo of a little penguin at the zoo, probably taken on the same day.
