I had an unforgettable encounter with one of the Elephants in the summer of 1998. It was in the house and for about 10 minutes I was able to...
I’m certain Leopards could be included but don’t think that they will. As much as I love cats above all other animals I’m not sure how wise it...
I really wish I hadn’t left my last post on a negative without saying how much I love Chester Zoo. Whilst I have wishes for what it should have...
As a teacher who has taken many trips to Chester Zoo the coach parking is in the best available spot. And yes leading a party of 30-90 kids which...
A few review points about our family visit this week. The Elephant Base Camp is excellent and far better than the old accommodation but for me...
Have to agree with the point above about the Zoo’s need to offer discounted two day ticket. I can’t see them needing to do that with current...
There was a great BBC series in the early 1980’s called Zoo 2000 looking at the history and future of zoo’s. I have the book but haven’t seen the...
I recall recommendations from 2015 that suggested that Tigers should be classed as two subspecies Continental and Sunda (Island). It also...
I always found Belfast layout reminiscent of Dudley, but even more so like Edinburgh when I went there last year. The old dance hall at Belfast...

It seems to me that ZSL is slowly heading towards a crisis that while not nearly as dramatic as that in the early 90’s may prove to be far...
My first and only visit to London Zoo was in 2013 I was happy to see species that I had never seen before. I think that it has been a mistake to...
I would love to! Go on a quieter day for clarity as the family thing is something I readily accept. But being a teacher and living on the Isle Of...
Thanks very much for the update zoogiraffe. We had a great visit yesterday and I really missed seeing those snakes. Glad that the Retics are still...
Nice visit to the Zoo today which was absolutely packed. Noticed that the Gaboon Viper was no longer displayed in the Okapi house and the...
Might try and get a visit in soon and then wait until the development is finished. With Monsoon forest closed, old lion enclosure soon to be...
Red Spitting Cobra seems an odd choice for an establishment that has taken a hard path away from having many hot herps. Must be far more difficult...
