    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.

    The name will be Wildlands, the rest is sort of a subscript or subtitle.

    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:

    Chinese alligator have joined the collection.

    Perhaps this thread should be retitled as Wildlands?

    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....
