   EDITOR REVIEW:

WEST AUSTIN.   The Austin Zoo is a private, non-profit "rescue zoo" – about 90% of their animals have come from circuses, roadside zoos, research labs and private owners who could no longer care for their wild "pets." There's nothing fancy about the place – the paths are unpaved and you won't find any shows or elaborate gift shops – but the animals are well cared for and there's a nice variety. Among the residents are parrots, Bengal tigers, lions, brown bears, lemurs and other monkeys, several reptiles and prairie dogs. There is also a petting zoo with goats and other farm animals, and a fun train ride that kids will enjoy.
