This is just a bit of fun to judge the general consensus on the best enclosure for Asian Elephants in Germany. I have added a few photos from the...
Munster [IMG] [IMG] Neunkirchen [IMG] Osnabruck [IMG] [IMG] Wille Kinderzoo Unfortunately there are no photos of this enclosure in the...
Are there any favorite or least favorite elephant exhibits you've seen, or particularly memorable experiences with elephants?
I’ve visited 551 different zoos and aquariums and I was curious to note how many zoos I’d been to with elephants. That question, which was posed...
The discussion around Mandrills has been fascinating, with a lot of great information. Tampa has been mentioned a couple of times, but I don't see...
Other than Red-capped, Black Crested and Golden-bellied, I've seen two other mangabey species in my lifetime. Those are White-naped Mangabeys, at...
I've been to 7 zoos with Mona Monkeys. There's a number of different names, and even types, but I've always simply noted 'Mona Monkey' when...
Diana Monkeys are yet another example of an eye-catching primate, with the contrast between black-and-white (and a splash of orange!) being...
The next most common macaque species that I've come across in all my zoo visits is the Pig-tailed Macaque at only 10 zoos. There's quite the...

The capuchin species that I've come across the most is the Tufted Capuchin, at 44 zoos and double the next type. When I was on long road trips in...

I've visited 62 zoos with Siamangs. Some of these zoos are ones I’ve visited on many occasions, but I’ve listed them only once and that...
Colobus Monkeys are another common primate, although it's interesting that at least 90% or more of all the zoos I've seen them at have been...
Is there a more common monkey in the zoo world than the Cotton-top Tamarin? These little critters are ubiquitous in zoos across the globe and I've...
If I thought that I'd seen a lot of zoos with Squirrel Monkeys (78), that number was eclipsed by the volume of zoos where I've seen Spider...
I've said this before elsewhere on the forum, but I hate that Nashville puts animals in their bathrooms and I hope more zoos don't jump on this...
A growing favorite of mine! Buffalo Zoo actually has *both* black-capped and common squirrel monkeys (two females of each), and they are a blast...
