    Twycross Zoo in the UK recently opened a brand new Chimpanzee enclosure which is really nice and spacious, awhile also having great viewing opportunities for guests

    For the American Badgers I've encountered
    Best: Henry Vilas Zoo
    Worst: Milwaukee County Zoo

    Milwaukee is far from the worst for badgers. I think it goes more like this:

    American Badger: Best (Henry Vilas Zoo)
    [​IMG]
    Massive amounts of digging room, indoor and outdoor access, badgers always active.

    Worst: Bear Den Zoo
    [​IMG]
    No digging (or hiding) room, small cage.

    Special shoutout to NEW Zoo, which has a perfectly fine enclosure but the badger is never seen. The only animal I have seen in the badger's exhibit since the new one was build was a dead House Sparrow.

    Haven't been to Bear Den Zoo, so seeing this for the first time makes me realize I need to give Milwaukees exhibit credit in at least having places for the Badger to dig
