No sun will shine im my day today
The high yellow moon won't come out to play
I said darkness has covered my light
And then stage my day into night
Where is the love to be found
Won't someone tell me
'Cause life must be somewhere to be found
Instead of concrete jungle
Where the living is harder
Concrete jungle
Man you got to do your best
No chains around my feet
But I'm not free
I know I am bound here in captivity
Yeh - I've never known the happiness
I've never known what sweet caress is
Still -I'll be always laughing
Like a clown
Won't somebody help me 'cause
I've got to pick myself
From off the ground
In this ya concrete jungle
I said what do you got for me now
Concrete jungle ah won't you let me be now
Concrete Jungle - Bob Marley

This python is said to be the largest in captivity. It's measured at 23 feet (if I'm not mistaken with the figures). The "guide/caretaker" explained that, as of the picture was taken, it was recently fed thus it had not much movement.
The lion (Panthera leo) is one of the four big cats in the genus Panthera, and a member of the family Felidae. With some males exceeding 250 kg (550 lb) in weight,[4] it is the second-largest living cat after the tiger. Wild lions currently exist in sub-Saharan Africa and in Asia, with an endangered remnant population in Gir Forest National Park in India, having disappeared from North Africa and Southwest Asia in historic times. Until the late Pleistocene, about 10,000 years ago, the lion was the most widespread large land mammal after humans. They were found in most of Africa, across Eurasia from western Europe to India, and in the Americas from the Yukon to Peru.[5] The lion is a vulnerable species, having seen a major population decline of 30–50% over the past two decades[date missing] in its African range.[2] Lion populations are untenable outside designated reserves and national parks. Although the cause of the decline is not fully understood, habitat loss and conflicts with humans are currently the greatest causes of concern. Within Africa, the West African lion population is particularly endangered.
Lions live for 10–14 years in the wild, while in captivity they can live longer than 20 years. In the wild, males seldom live longer than 10 years, as injuries sustained from continual fighting with rival males greatly reduce their longevity.[6] They typically inhabit savanna and grassland, although they may take to bush and forest. Lions are unusually social compared to other cats. A pride of lions consists of related females and offspring and a small number of adult males. Groups of female lions typically hunt together, preying mostly on large ungulates. Lions are apex and keystone predators, although they scavenge as opportunity allows. While lions do not typically hunt humans, some have been known to do so. Sleeping mainly during the day, lions are primarily nocturnal, although bordering on crepuscular[7][8] in nature.
Highly distinctive, the male lion is easily recognised by its mane, and its face is one of the most widely recognised animal symbols in human culture. Depictions have existed from the Upper Paleolithic period, with carvings and paintings from the Lascaux and Chauvet Caves, through virtually all ancient and medieval cultures where they once occurred. It has been extensively depicted in sculptures, in paintings, on national flags, and in contemporary films and literature. Lions have been kept in menageries since the time of the Roman Empire, and have been a key species sought for exhibition in zoos over the world since the late 18th century. Zoos are cooperating worldwide in breeding programs for the endangered Asiatic subspecies.

Somewhere in Chinatown. Perhaps he tried to "dine and dash"? I guess he isn't as quick as he thought. Hopefully one of the elves will come by and pay off his debt before Christmas eve.

San Diego Zoo. Please view it in medium. This is an emotional shot. I am trying to capture the sadness.
The truth is, despite how beautiful these animals are, you could see that they had no energy inside them. Thats the price of being in a "cage", even a big one.
