HI all. Bumping up this very old thread... as I'd like to hear what people's latest rankings of the top 10 (or 20) zoos in Germany are. I'm...

JamesB - did you ever go to Xiangjiang? Just came across the place - not a fan of the shows, but I'm intrigued by the species list, and the...
At St. Augustine Alligator Farm, you can (or at least you could), put a quarter into a gumball machine to get pellets which you feed to the...
