Well that's not really what I meant- projects are always likely to be collaborative with other zoos, conservation organisations or local experts I...
I think maybe there's a point to be made about the different ways zoos contribute to conservation? Plenty of zoos I think spend at least some...
I don't think their enclosure lent itself to seeing the wolves that well, what with being quite densely foliated and having that laurel hedge at...
They are no longer there, but Blackpool used to have white woodpecker. That's the only time I have ever seen woodpeckers in captivity.

You've reminded me of an animal I don't like - those tiny little flies that appear in summer time and beeline for the nearest glass of wine to...
No, I think I like them all...though in terms of the enclosures that get the least attention- it's probably the fish/aquatic inverts. I like them...
I think deer in deer parks would be an example certainly, but deer parks can be huge. I suppose old-style british deer parks were probably first...
Bristol zoo had free-ranging marmosets and I think the theory went that by convincing the marmosets that their territory was all within a set area...
But in terms of gorillas, an enclosure equal in size to a wild territory would be near impossible- at least very unlikely and impractical from a...
Thinking about this, for me, is raising as many questions as it is answering. In the wild the area of an animal's territory is governed almost...
Well I know nothing on the subject, but have easily worked out from the link you have provided that Knowsley was formerly the menagerie of the...
I never realised until looking at Praha that you could look within the grounds of certain zoos on street view! Like Fossa Dude says I'm used to...
