In terms of variety of species to see perhaps but whether the best husbandry conditions were provided is another issue entirely. I say that by...
Yes but it would be quite nice to actually see both of these before changing my vote. I might stick with my vote as I like the way the port...
I think the Port Lympne one looks the most naturalistic enclosure for anoa. I don't really like the look of the Chester one or the Marwell...
Yes definitely there are three sloths there and lots of birdlife too. It suprised me when I was told about the sloths because I just would have...
Well contrary to popular opinion sloths can sometimes be very hard to see. For example in the Trianon park here in SP in the very centre of the...

Whilst the bonobo "hippie ape" myth is total nonsense and these animals do hunt primate prey I can't imagine them at all doing something like what...
Truly fascinating but ughhhh ..... Beyond scientific objectivity and on a purely emotional level think I now dislike chimpanzees even more than...
Have no helpful answers to your questions but I just want to say that from what I've seen in zoos in your part of the world chimpanzees are...
I think they had vampire bats there at some point too.
Thanks for sharing !
Saw the 1960's world war two film "The Hill" with Connery recently and was really impressed. I don't know if it would be one of the greatest...
