I am not a photographer and would anyhow not have taken photos of the weaker exhibits. Regarding ”below average”, I find that to be the correct...
Nope
I do not see how I implied that the owls at Plzen were tied down. It was an example of the worst exhibitry I could imagine. No photos from Plzen,...
Well, some waterfowl are well provided with swimming space, but others are really not. While Plzen has some fine aviaria - of which I would call...
A person on the French forum who seems closely related to Beauval, indeed writes that harpies and doucs will arrive in a couple of days.
First reactions on the dome seem to be quite positive on the French forum. I read, that Beauval neither wanted a Masoala nor a Gondwanaland-like...
To clarify my post: The aviarium itself is of course not 0.5 m2, but still very small. However, the water volume available for ducks were,...
Regarding my 3-0 to Zürich: I think bird exhibitry might be Plzen's biggest weak point after the chimp enclosure. There are definitely very good...
The dome looks pretty packed, even with 12 000 m2. It seems however that Beauval has no black dots comparable to those in Omaha, so I vote 2-1.
It seems that Beauval gets a number of 3-0 voices due to black dots in Omaha. Are Beauval's enclosures really universally at least average and...
I have not been to Zürich, but vote 2-1 to Wroclaw. The chimps enclosure is substandard but seems to be slightly better than what Zürich offers....
Having been to Plzen and Wroclaw (though I have somewhat vague reminiscences of the latter), it seems tight. Both zoos have large savannahs, but...
Primate exhibits is Plzen's achilles heel and Omaha looks at least one class better from Snow Leopard's pictures - compare inside enclosures for...
OK, I change my mind. It has to be taken into account how well the zoo´s natural assets are actually integrated into the exhibits. From Singapore...
You just need to imagine a different gorilla species ;)
San Diego must be much better than Berlin, where there is little effort at depicting anything savannah-like. And I would include the SD kopje...
I do consider Singapore's tropical location a big plus here, just as the Prague cliffside is a huge benefit for mountains. Strange that they do...
Prague 2-1 thanks to the best mountain exhibitry in Europe, as far as I know, which makes up for the lousy polar bear enclosure. Now, if Prague...
I have only been to Plzen, but they had several very good enclosures for this geography, such as bears, North American caprines and the Canadian...
I forgot the Plzen bears...and some of San Diego's exhibits do actually seem a bit less impressive than imagined. Plzen's mammal enclosures are...
