ISIS shows that Antwerp list both females as B.b. graueri. Surely if they held the only pure Mountain gorilla in captivity they would recognise...
Can I ask where you get your information from then Adrian? (If you don't wish to say then that's fine) but if the zoo doesn't reply to your e...
I thought the tectons had been put on a world heritage site which was going to help with the upkeep? And putting in for a grant doesn't guarantee...
I agree, have seen the one at Bristol and also one at Edinburgh. In one single glance I accounted for over £70 income at Edinburgh on their...
I guess it depends on what type of animal is in the exhibit. For aves you may find it's indoor heated facilities or nest sites that allow easy...
If that was the case and people would rather visit a zoo, castle and tectons why on earth are there such vast differences in visitor numbers?...
Adrian, I never implied you were having a go at Twycross. And even if you were, I would hardly pass comment as I don't happen to like the place...
Not interested in who's leaving or staying on the forum, just want to say that although people that follow zoos closely (i.e. people on here) may...
Yes, it's Edinburgh. Ms Simmons is from San Diego zoo and is delighted Edinburgh is becoming involved with the pandas. That's how I read it anyway.
A fair enough reason I guess although it could be worked around (more lorikeets, lower the amount of time nectar is available etc) but by and...
I was wondring if anyone on here has had any positive or negative experiences when visitng zoos that they weren't expecting. I.e. they thought a...
Sorry just read the full article about what species are going in so ignore me on that one.
So they've done away with a walk through exhibit due to expense to staff it, only to replace it with a walk through that needs.....staffing? And...
Brilliant, I bet almost every zoo keeper in the world's got at least one amusing tale to tell. If that was me it would have probably taken ages...
Those are the names! Thanks Pertinax it's been a while since I read the book and my gorilla family tree memory's nowhere near as sharp as yours....
Ok thanks for that.
I was wondering, what are people's opinions on keepers 'going in' with their charges? It's becoming a thing of the past now, do we think rightly...
Looking at ISIS, Berlin is not listed as having Giant Pandas. It's not important and I realise ISIS isn't always regularly updated but can anyone...
Maybe naively I took most of the more 'negative' comments as being tongue in cheek and wasn't expecting any response on here to them. However...
I don't think anyone's a pain in the neck for sticking up for what they believe in, in fact I quite like a good debate. I was unaware about the...
