    Looking at the image above, I may have to reconsider my decision regarding the Dik-Dik exhibit - It is far more vegetated than I remembered, and in some regards better than the one at WP. This doesn't change my decision overall however.

    This is quite an old photo. It is far less vegetated now than it used to be.

    With the images I am seeing of the exhibits I voted Bristol/Wild Place 2-1 Twycross with a bonus to Twycross because of the exhibit aspect so let's start with the african hoofstock:
    The Giraffe,Zebra and Eland exhibit is pretty big and quite impressive in comparation with the giraffe house and the zebra exhibit at Twycross,for me the winner in the african section is Bristol/WP.

    The Tapir and Vicuna enclosure at twycross looks at first sight bigger than the one at Bristol/WP but the Capybara and Tapir enclosure at Bristol/WP looks more naturalistic and spacious than the one at Twycross.Here I have a tie.

    Between the Pigmy Hippo and the Black Rhino exhibit the winner is Twycross because the pygmy Hippo exhibit is smaller than what I expected.

    With the Kirk's Dik Dik I have also a tie because both exhibits look nice,but I prefer the one at Bristol/WP because it is more colorful with the birds.

    The bonus for Twycross is because they don't have bad exhibits just they could be better.
