    I don't know when it's best to see them active; they were sleeping throughout my visit last June. They were easy to see from the viewing window but a little less easy to photograph. :)

    I have waited app 7 years to visit this zoo and went twice today, this morning had a tour from Keeper and went back this afternoon as its open till 8pm.

    OMG seriously if I am to judge this zoo solely on its design of exhibit and how that displays animals to the general public, this is seriously the best zoo in the world!

    I loved it, as I walked around I could literally see how the designers had replicated concepts from the best zoo exhibits in the world and put it all together in one zoo.

    Drills- are they all still in the group or have some moved elsewhere? How big is the group currently?

    Yesterday all 9 (1,2,6) are in Valencia. Well, not all were viewed, but no other news/ data do for thinking any other supposition.
    The original group was 2,2. But 1 male was moved (I don't know where)

    @Zooman:Nice place that's true, but still very small zoo.

    Hi Pertinax,
    Do you know specifically why the silverback was separated from the group with newborn?

    Was the zoo just being cautious?
