I once had an armadillo attempt to make a burrow in my palm - needless to say, it found my hand unsuitable for tunnelling, and I found that...
Thanks! Anybody else got any others?
Hi, I'm looking for a website or resource that will provide information on how animals are cared for in zoos - like care sheets etc. I'm sure...
In Durrel Wildlife Park, now renamed Jersey Zoo, I saw red squirrels roaming around the zoo during my visit.
Really nice zoo. I love the lack of large amounts of charismatic megafauna, all too common in zoos, and the addition of the fossils.

Apologies if this comes across as rude - I assure you, I have no intentions of it being that way. But it seems to me as if some here don't have a...
Wow, that looks awesome! It looks like a good zoo in general - I notice they also have free-roaming tortoises.
Interesting. Do you have any other info about it?
I am most interested in reptile/amphibian walk-throughs, or exhibits where they roam free amongst other animals. Could anyone suggest any examples...
Thanks for all the replies people! Walk-through walrus exhibit?! I'd be terrified going there - I supposed I've heard too much about walrus...
