Sadly, I had to cheat to find them.

If cheating means looking at the zoo map - that´s what I had to do too ;)

Yup. Sad how obvious they were when you knew where to look. Like so many controls I failed to find on the first try...

Nice job guys. Great detective work. There probably aren't too many animals that show up on aerial photos. It helped that the sun was shining.

Saw the rhino on the photo on my own, but it was the wrong color for a giraffe. Probably never visible from the path of your run, though.

The zoo was labeled on the map and I figured the report on the status of the giraffes meant they must be visible from the running route, so I just zoomed way in and followed the red line around until I saw them.

Yes, yesterday's giraffes or maybe last year's.

Via sat view, I occasionally looked at my workplace parking lot on a weekday with a reasonable expectation of seeing my car but it was not the case - maybe time to look again...

...or go to work more often...?

I'm cured of that.

But the day I see something personal (other than a house) in a sat view, I'll give a shout:).
