I don't know why they changed Bono and Sumas' names to Kembar and Kiani - and I don't know what those names mean. However I do know the origin of...
Sad news: I remember when I was a little kid, Kiani was called Suma. She was a twin - her brother was called Bono. "Bono and Suma" were a well...
Unfortunately their hands were tied: they had to demolish it before it turned 50 years old - otherwise they risked being forced to keep it (ie...
Here’s my list - but note that I have never been to Auckland Zoo and thus can’t include it (I’m sure it will be in my top 5 when I eventually get...
From an Australian Zoo perspective: Melbourne Zoo and Werribee Open Range Zoo (my 2 local zoos) both have excellent healthy food - including good...

Recently there has been a lot of talk on here about possible new species in Australian zoos - especially in the speculation threads for the larger...
Awesome review! I must admit I hadn’t even thought about the birding opportunities at TWPZ but it makes a lot of sense. There has always been a...
I like this idea of ruins - using a theme that a rainforest can take over a previously human habitated area and let nature return (think Angkor...
This is a combo I really, really like: Adelaide Zoo have this exact combination in a beautiful enclosure with a huge Morton Bay fig tree. I'd love...
