Hi i am a new member and couldn't find a topic like this anywhere, so i thought (with my prior knowledge of forums) to start one, hoe here it is and a little about me

I live in Adelaide, am a ZooYouth Ammbassador and a Volunteer at teh Adelaide Zoo. I work at McDonalds as a Crew Trainer, i kepp and breed, Parrots, Lizards and Fishes.

My second love is the Game Zoo Tycoon 2 i hope many of you are aware of it, and love it as much as i do, i am Currently a Designer at the largest Zoo Tycoon (ZT) website on the net, Zoo Admin (http://zoo.ogresnet.com)
I create animals, for the game and hacks to make it as natural as possible

sorry if this is wrong admins, i just thought you needed one

Zoo Youth
I love the zoo tycoon game, though I don't have the 3 d one. (Didn't like the look of the animals). I've always wanted to have a zoo of my own, like Mogo Zoo, but probably won't make that dream come true so the game is the closest I can get.

I'm new too this site ; it was ZooYouthBen ,a friend of me over ZA ,anotehr site,that brought me here, me being a HUGE zoo lover and big fan and regular visitor of zoos.
My big obsession are animals ,music (metal),reading,msn ,computers,writing,improving my english and more.
I live in Belgium,Western Europe ,and my age is 16 (17 to become in Octobre).
The zoos I know best are Planckendael animal park in Muizen and the Antwerp Zoo in Antwerp, both popular zoos here in Belgium , that are under the same managment (of the Royal Zoological Society of Antwerp).
This society also owns a nature reserve and a concert and congress centre.
Some pics of these zoos and others I visited can be found on my site.

I hope to enjoy it here.

Welcome Mephistopheles to the zoobeat forum, its good to have an Internatational view on zoos from your country, I look forward to your input.
Antwerp zoo as far as I can remember used to be famous for having Mountain Gorllias and Okapi maybe you can keep us up to date on what they are doing there these days.

23-04-2006

Didn't knew you knew the Antwerp zoo , Mark. Well it's quite famous ,isn't it ?
How did you hear from it, if I may ask ?
Thank you.
Okapis yes ,they certainly still have those , but mountain gorillas ,at least not now. I know they've had them in the past (I don't exactly know when ,though) ,they now have the only two females left of Eastern lowland gorillas, from that subspecies, according to my scources , no more animals in captivity occur (all other gorillas are western lowland gorillas) and they also have an infertile male western lowland gorilla.

Great Zoos of the World
24-04-2006

Hi Mephi , I am the NZ representative of this bunch of zoo fans .

A few years ago , there was a TV series in NZ called " Great Zoos of the World "
Whether one could agree with the title with the zoos that were portrayed could possibly be up to conjecture , but they had one session about the Antwerp Zoo . The zoo management were quite candid ,and admitted that their biggest problem was space ( It is a small zoo , right beside the main railway station )
So that is another reason why your local zoo has become known from this part of the world .

It is good to have you join the forum , and I appreciate the validity of your views/comments , even though there are often two or more sides of the coin . But this is a great forum to share views about zoos and zoo management , conservation etc . We sometimes have some beaut arguments , but we are all in the same boat as far as wanting the best possible outcomes for wildlife , and we are all zoofans -- despite our vast differences . Good to see you jumping in boots and all .
Cheers , Nigel
