The name and logo of the new Emmen Zoo have today been unveiled - Wildlands Adventure Zoo Emmen will open to the public on 1st April 2016 Nieuwe naam en logo onthuld Dierenpark Emmen
It's a pretty awful name and a fairly tacky logo, but it's interesting that it features a polar bear...
Wildwoods Adventure Zoo Emmen? Seriously? What is wrong with just Emmen Zoo? The new name is almost as terrible as Wildlife World Zoo & Aquarium & Safari Park (in Arizona) or West Midland Safari & Leisure Park (U.K.). I shake my head at the decision to have such a mouthful for a name.
Look at the size of the elephant house, it's enormous!!!!! https://www.facebook.com/bouwwildla....1414183600./1483487438601684/?type=1&theater Along with the construction photos, it is looking mighty impressive.
Wildlands releasing videos on YouTube. Wildlands is looking like a very exciting project! They have set up a YouTube account and so far have uploaded two "episodes" clearly explaining what the zoo will look like (the videos are in Dutch). I am very excited about this, it's looking fantastic! First episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1nnk7eJ1U8

They are not new, they had already been acquired when still at the old location. The erstwhile West African dwarfs were exchanged ... (for them).
Which is rather strange giving the fact that they are kept in a tropical hall and they stated that they wanted to breed with the alligators....
