Like most UK ZooChatters, I have seen many animals that were the last if their kind in the UK. What follows are just a few notable examples that...
I agree, it is very sad what has happened with the Northern white rhino indeed and I'm sure it is even more shocking given how many times you saw...
Thank you for the comment @Tim May ! Which one of these stands out as being the most poignant or moving experience ?
Restricting myself to collections I have visited. 1. North America - Burgers' Desert or Plzen's North American Zone 2. South America - the loose...
@lintworm you didn't answer to my last question: What about München-Hellabrunn zoo?
If Szeged would have to be in this list, so would at least 100 other mid-sized zoos around Europe. I am not a big fan of Sheridan's rankings,...
Hot damn! Guess I should've put a bit more research on that zoo. It looks gorgeous! I kinda wonder how the Nile Hippo and African Elephant exhibit...
This is really hard given the vast majority of the zoos I have visited have been in Europe, where zoos are less split into exhibits and more like...
Well this must have been an incredibly long labour of love. I've tried to do this in the past with projects such as the Zoo Community Fantasy Game...
I like to Jihlava that they have made the most of their small space they have. Interestingly, however, it is not exaggeratedly at all. Cat House...

Now that Sydney Zoo is open I have added in all these changes to the list. I also added in Blackbuck as they are on the zoo map. I haven't added...
Along the same lines as the aardvarks, I think hyraxes fall outside the definition for this category. Elephants and sirenians are included here as...
The new Sydney Zoo at Blacktown isn't open yet [scheduled for December 7th] but they have started acquiring animals. I will hold off on editing...
It appears this hasn't been posted on this thread but Kito the young bull elephant, who was born 6th December 2002 at Colchester Zoo, has sadly...
My complex idea: The Horn of Africa This exhibit will focus on wildlife from Ethiopia, Eritrea, Somalia, Djibouti, and northern Kenya. The...
I already have Somali wild ass in my Sahara outpost. It’s fine if you want to keep them though we can just have two seperate herds.
I'm going to Dvur Kralove next week, will stay at Hotel Safari. The zoo closes at 5pm, how long are hotel guests allowed to stay at the zoo? And,...
So I noticed we both have Caracal and Rock Hyrax. I'm cool with these species being in both complexes. We each have a pair of Caracal, so that's...
