    that is correct. (I think lintworm knew of the zoo but got the wrong town unfortunately).

    Other great exhibits in the Springfield Zoo include the Aardvark Paark, The Emu Experience, Habitat For Huge Manatees, and the Elephant Cage.

    Sounds interesting.Keeping elephant in a cage is not a good idea and they have a typo.

    I think the elephants may have been moved from the zoo later to the city's wildlife reserve.

    This (now closed) collection is located in the same park that now houses a more modern wildlife attraction.

    is it Walter Rothschild's collection? (I don't know if there is a modern collection there now though).

    Stanley Park, Vancouver. The zoo co-existed with the aquarium but there could only be one! ;)

    Well since no one was able to guess Brums, I guess I'll give this a go.

    Not technically a zoo or aquarium, but rather something right in the middle. Located in the US with a rare species of bird only found at this location.

    As almost anyone who’s been there would agree, DWA isn’t really zoo nor aquarium. There are more terrestrial animals than aquatic. But it’s in an aquarium setting.
