Oh yes indeed! In august, the owner René Hedegaard invited me down to Crocodile Zoo and gave me a personal tour of the zoo that lasted 4 hours . He was especially proud of the new phillipines, and even opened up to their exhibit so i could get some good photos of them

He said they would be sent out to the following zoos:

Cologne Zoo
London Zoo
Bergen Aquarium (Norway)

And i think he also mentioned Chester and some others as well, though I'm not quite sure... Does anybody here on ZooBeat know?


BTW, new reviews from two Danish minizoos have been added to the english section of Zoos.dk

This is puzzling me, Philippine Crocodiles for London are to be quarantined by Chester. Does this mean Chester will not be getting any of their own?

Hi Toddy.
It's me Tobias from MSN.

I can write reviews from Helsinki Zoo, Furuvik and Skånes Djurpark in English, if it's OK?

Update
Old 02-01-2008

The English zoo-review section has been updated with 8 new reviews from Denmark, Sweden and England. The latter are written by Swedish Zoo Fan and Writhedhornbill here from the ZooBeat forums.

I have a dream . I am hoping that the English section of my site will expand to be more of a joined project, including zoofans from around the world. I think that it would be a great way to share experiences, and share reviews from all around the world.

Therefore, I would like to repeat my request from page 2 of this thread. I am looking for more writers for the site. Anybody interested? Your job would be to write reviews/descriptions from zoos you have visited, and provide pictures for them as well. You will of course be credited for all the articles and photos you provide.

If you are interested and/or want to know more, just ask in this thread or e-mail me on
yakoksen@hotmail.com

Can anyone tell me about the Nordens ark collection, i have an interest in this park as i believe our very own highland wildlife park in Scotland now seems to be modelling itself on this collection with a mix of indigenous wildlife and exotics based on the tundra/mountain habitat theme.

Norderns Ark is the most amazing wildlife park i have ever seen, even though it's not all swedish animals they keep. Their focus is endangerede species, and thy are good at promoting conservation. They keep native animals from Europe and North/Central Asia, as well as a few species from South American (maned wolves, pudus and some parrots).

The whole park is built around a small fjëld (Swedish mountain), and is placed in the possibly most beautifull landscape imaginable. The walk around the zoo is a one way tour that takes you around the mountain and back to the entrance. All the animals have fantastic enclosures, with lots of space and natural forest. What could be better for a snow leopard, than an actual mountan side? Or an actual forest for the grey wolves or wolverines? The path varies from dirt path to wooden boardwalk.

The park has also been expanded with a large field, where Nordens Ark has built a very modern farm/childrens' zoo. When they say they focus on endangered animals, they also mean old types of native farm animals that have almost dissapeared. That mean that you can also see a large number of cultural breeds of cows, pigs, horses, goats, sheep and such. It is actually very interesting, and i never thought that i would spend that much time in the Children's Zoo

The most interesting species at Nordens Ark are:

Amur tiger
Amur leopard
Snow leopard
Amur cat
European wild cat
European lynx
Red panda
Wolverine
Grey wolf
Maned wolf
European otter
Przewalski wild horse
Chamois
Himalaya tahr
Mountain goat
Markhor
European forest reindeer
Chilean pudu

They also have many birds, including woodpeckers, owls and eagles.

Hope this helps
