Arctic Fox - Highland WP & Wildwood Musk Ox - Highland Tree Porcupine - Blackpool, maybe others Kiwi - Paignton
Axe Valley also have them and I think they're found in a Scottish collection too? But it's worth noting that Paignton's bird is ineligible for the challenge as it's not viewable unless you go behind the scenes.
The Scottish one is Edinburgh also Shorts said at the beginning that the kiwi counts as you can see him on a tv screen.
It is called, appropriately enough, Kirkley Hall Zoological Gardens and it's been open quite some time now, having opened in early 2011.
Unfortunately, I've got to say no to this (though anyone who has the opportunity to take it should, challenge-counting or not) because: 1. It's a bit too close to a "keeper for the night" experience (not allowed) for my tastes; 2. It's also not dissimilar to Heythrop's restricted opening (not allowed); 3. An underlying principle of the rules is to have as level a playing field as possible and this would give too much of an advantage to those nearby who were significantly more able to visit the handful of nights it's open. Sometimes I feel like Thomas Aquinas.
