What's your favorite animal?

Cincinnati Zoo - check.
Ft. Worth, TX Zoo - check.
Zoo Atlanta - check.

Busch Gardens, Tampa - check.
Disney's Animal Kingdom - check.

Zoos are really keeping up with the times. The Cincinnati Zoo has installed a series of solar panel roofs for the the parking lot. They look like the structures found at gas stations that protect you from the raid when you are filling your tank.

Wouldn't it be cool if "they" installed the same panels at the gas stations?
