Thanks everyone for your replies. And in answer to many explaining the space issue, I agree it is obviously a concern for such a city-centre zoo. My research interests include tereotypic behaviour in ungulates and so the giraffe issue was something I naturally picked up on. I had not realised that was their first day outside though.
In relation to the porcupines - it is a shame that Jurek7 did not witness them stereotyping - I do however have a short film clip recorded off of a stills camera which should show you what I am talking about if you would like to see. Is there facility to post film on this forum or not?
Please keep the comments coming - the plans and expansion look very interesting indeed!
