Visit to Blackpool zoo.
05-11-2008
Am going up to blackpool zoo on Saturday, this will be my first visit there. Can anyone suggest anything thats a must see there? As therie website is not the best.
They have some high profile animals, but do they have any unusually worth seeing animals there? |

I think they have recently got Aardvarks, they'll be worth seeing. Can you try and get some photos of the new Giraffe exhibit please?

My personal favourites include the first animal you'll probably see - Darwin the giant tortoise, who may be a Seychelles tortoise - which is as rare as any species on Earth.
Don't miss the dwarf mouse lemurs in the monkey house and the flock of roseate cockatoos (galahs) next door. Alan
