The design of the enclosure does not allow for keeping a venomous species in their hence it been the Boas.

What's the biggest!!!. I always though it was small because the entire space used to be home to the Guanaco and Rhea and it didnt appear that big back then.

I meant bear enclosure. Sorry.

I don't know the biggest, sorry. Zurich looks big, but it is a few stringed together. They also mix their bears with Coatis. I've put a video of the bears on the gallery.

Reindeer in the western part and before them Beisa Oryx. In the eastern part have been Greater Kudu, Ostriches, Chinese Water Deer and White Kafue Lechwe. That's all I can remember.

oh so thats were the Reindeer were kept, i've trying to remember for ages where they were kept. Personally i think the Rheas and Guanacos should leave for the paddock next to the Oryx and Zebra with the Tapirs, Vicuna anc Capybara being moved to the old Sable paddock and the bears can have the entire space then.

The rest of the series will be interesting, for people who like lion cubs. Tejas is apparently featuring in six of the last eight programmes.
