Serval dens knocked out to be replaced by a shop. Tiger enclosure levelled to make way for the lodges.....Any historical element of the old...
I do wonder if a careful selection of what might be termed Iron Age species (e.g. Grey Wolf, Eurasian Beaver, Common Crane, White-tailed Eagle)...
Don't even think of going there until the days are longer. A serious UK enthusiast who doesn't know Chester that well should allow at least a day.
Expensive? They're goats! :) A decent pile of rocks would surely suffice for hoofcare and display purposes.
That's the one. Originally installed as a bath for elephants but reputedly proved too small for adults. I suspect that the untrained animals...
Personally I think Bush Dog when imagining a social canid for London Zoo. I think a decent sized pack of Painted Dog would be best off at...
I wouldn't pretend to know the difference between Northern and Southern White Rhino, but the building in the background is the Elephant &...
European Bison are woodland animals - I doubt if they would care for that open hill, or graze it as well. I simply don't see the issue in having a...
I think you've missed the second half, Pertinax: renovate for penguins (for whom I think the pool is big enough) by putting in a new roof and...
Welcome aboard, oflory! Whipsnade's Water Mammal Exhibit was of course built as a dophinarium. As such no land area was required and none was...
Stu, ZSL had a world-class small mammal house at London. Then they smashed it up to put in a not-very-big rainforest exhibit. Indoor housing for...
Sorry (and nothing personal) but this line of argument is having it both ways. If people say that London can't keep as many species as it used to...
When apparently intelligent people repeatedly fail to do something that would be obviously beneficial I fear that the explanation is that they're...
Sorry, but you don't bring in expensive large mammals to make a point for a dozen years. A pride of lions that is for exhibit purposes only and...
Those who know Whipsnade might JUST possibly wonder at the idea, that of all the large carnivores under the sun, its management seriously...
With respect, then why do you describe those opposed to current London policy as being nostalgic for megafauna in boxes? Leopards and Sloth Bears...
Going off at a tangent, somebody really needs to go through the Wolf / Golden Jackal complex to review the taxonomy. I feel sure that both are...
Totally agree. A serious conservation zoo on a 36 acre / 14 hectare site really ought to be capable of finding space for Striped Possum,...
With the best will in the world, this is a stupid idea. If you're going to have people in the zoo overnight (staff excepted) then surely to...
Separate names with a comma.
