Last weekend, I was able to return to the Cebu City Zoo with my family. We were so excited because of two reasons: 1) it was our first visit since the zoo’s management overhaul some months ago, and 2) because it was EA’s first zoo visit! EA, as you may already know, is my cousin’s young kid. Anyways, during the visit, I discovered something really interesting. The new zoo manager, Giovanni Stephen Romarate, was, in fact, my second-degree cousin! Haha. So, instead of a short walk-through, we ended up with a guided tour with some insider/expert information about the zoo and the animals. Very nice! Hehehehe. Also, we were able to touch the resident superstar Boggart the Bengal Tiger. It was a great great visit! 🙂

A nice looking pheasant.
He’s an emotional eater. Hehehe.
A fiesty cat from Malaysia.
Very cute rooster.
Sheep and goats.
A golden leopard.
It was donated by Mayor Osmeña.
A rooster with really weird feathers. Hehehe.
A cute owl.
This one is interesting. This is a 70-year old parrot. It is being watched closely because of its broken beak and falling feathers.
Eating rice. Hehehe.
What are you looking at?
Here’s EA. He looks like he’s having a fun time. Hehehe.
Satchmo chit-chatting with a nice big white bird.
The sign read – Guinea Fowl
Satchmo and a nice little monkey.

EXTRA: Shot of BBRC.
Visit the new Cebu City Zoo now!
wow! naa nay zoo!!!
thanks ley for the extra shot of BBRC. let’s not forget that bbrc is somewhat like a “human zoo”. the only difference is animals in zoos are treated better than people inside in this “human zoo”. remember it’s just a wall of cement that separates us from our brods and sisters detained inside this prison cause they made some wrong decisions in their lives or whatever the case maybe. who knows one day, God forbid, we’ll be the one looking outside from this hell on earth watching the cebu city zoo from afar?
I have never been to the Cebu City Zoo… and i have lived here all my life!

I just love to see a well-maintained zoo, happy animals & happy people! 🙂 Good that you & your beautiful family had a great time there. Thanks!
thanks mam ianne! 🙂
Leyland,
This is not a petting zoo. No one should be allowed to touch those animals.
Zoo’s are nice but I will feel sad about animals in a cage, especially the big ones like Boggart who can’t really run/jump around. *sigh
Very cool photos u got here. Looks like it was a good visit
ka dako sa tiger….
like the crocodile n the bengal tiger.
really good shots
thanks!
I’ve never seen a tiger. The first photo makes me want to visit the zoo now.
Amazing shot of the tiger Ley. What is the megapixel of ur camera?
Parente nimo ang zoo manager, Ley? Romarate man ang apelyido, matud pa sa sign.
looks like the animals are in prison. sad.
nindot lagi ang tiger kusniton,,,,cute xa,,,,hahahha…
The animals look sad 🙁 Sigh I wish we had a better way of keeping animals than in cages oh well.
The Cebu City Zoo is look better now than before with the new management.
I didn’t know we have a zoo in cebu…ignorance.
Sir, im so glad you shared this to me. These animal, though captive ni sila, they deserve to be treated and cared of gyd. di sila angay mo agi usab atong ilang na experience before. thanks for sharing sir.more power.

o. ngano man? kaila ta? hehe
dili noon..hehehe…imo man gud mga kuyog sa litrato kay mga taga CYPA then for sure imo na relatives…taga EYHA d i ko
asa man ang location sa CEBU ZOO, i have been Cebu but i have no idea may CEBU ZOO, gusto ko muadto and see the place
its nice to see the cebu zoo up and running nicely but i think the animals need more care like boggart. gamay kaayo iyang tangkal. too small for an animal of that size and kind. i bet he’s depressed.
wala na diay ang dako nga halas, katong kang Father Tropa.
hala taga cebu tood ko pero wa jud koy alamag sa ZOO ai!!!aha man na.. naa rai jeep mo agi didto?or kailangan private vehicles jud
sa ako mahinumduman wala, kay kada mo adto mi mag-auto man mi. unya ang jeep pud dili kaabot ngadto. morag naay habal-habal, sa una naa toy jeep nga mo lahos didto pero panagsa ra kaayo katong opra pero nakalimot ko sa unsa jud tong jeep nga mo lahos didto sa tumoy
How do you get to Cebu City Zoo from Tabunok?
the animals dont look happy…
I just want to hug that tiger and bring him home.
Kalooy sa parrot, dili mana mao ang ilang diet. Dapat seeds, nuts, and fruits ila guipakaon dili kay kan-on. Mao nga nanga tang tang na iyang balahibo.
The old parrot is malnourished. Rice is not enough to keep it healthy. It needs seeds, nuts vegetables and fruit. The feather are falling out because it needs vitamins and protein. A bird veterinarian should be consulted.
The old parrot has its feathers back. It is a black parrot. http://cebuzoo.blogspot.com/2011/10/black-parrot.html
I so wanna go back to cebu zoo! the last time i went there was when i was still young!! 🙂
