EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time and experience the magic of the Metro Toronto Zoo in the 1970s as depicted in this photograph from The John Hinde Archive. This vintage postcard image transports us to the Hippopotamus enclosure, where these gentle giants once resided. The hippos, with their distinctive rounded bodies and powerful jaws, seem to be basking in the sun, their eyes half-closed in contentment. The lush greenery and crystal-clear water of their habitat create an idyllic setting, providing a perfect backdrop for these fascinating creatures. The Metro Toronto Zoo, established in 1931, has been a beloved destination for both locals and tourists for nearly a century. With its commitment to conservation, education, and research, it has become a leading zoological institution. In the 1970s, the zoo was undergoing significant expansion and modernization, attracting visitors from far and wide. This photograph, taken by an unknown photographer, is a testament to the rich history and charm of the Metro Toronto Zoo during this era. The John Hinde Archive, a renowned collection of historical images, has preserved this moment in time, allowing us to appreciate the wonders of the natural world as they were experienced decades ago. The Metro Toronto Zoo continues to inspire and educate generations, and this photograph serves as a reminder of the important role it plays in connecting people with the natural world. Let this image transport you to a time when a visit to the zoo was an adventure, and the wonders of the animal kingdom were just a stone's throw away.
