    Thinking on the matter, I reckon you are correct and that I was mistaken :p as I suspect the world traveller whose age I was originally thinking of was FunkyGibbon.

    As for the age of Chlidonias, even he is a mere stripling compared to the three wise men of Zoochat - Tim May, Gentle Lemur and Pertinax!

    I haven't visited, and hence the matter has not come up as yet, but I would certainly be tempted to count somewhere like Cotswold Farm Park or a continental equivalent.

    I would love to be in a position to deny that I’m that transparent, but alas . . . !

    Knowing my luck I would spend all day photographing the Sun Bears (if they get out of bed) and still wouldn't see her lol. I'm easy to spot, I suspect I'll be the only bloke with two camera's and four lenses attached to me. Apart from that I'm the good looking Blonde bloke ;)

    Grammatically speaking, one cannot be both blonde and a bloke :p as it's one of the few adjectives in written English to retain separate masculine and feminine grammatical genders.

    Spending all day photographing the sun bears honestly doesn’t sound like a bad idea to me!

    Here's my list, with date of first visit indicated. I want to visit every zoo, every where, of course - but, at the same time, would rather have three days at a brilliant zoo than spend six half days at mediocre zoos. I hope to be nudging towards 400 by the end of this year (obviously I have to keep ahead of @snowleopard, with whom I am currently tied on 372; perhaps a trip to the London WWT, which I have yet to get round to visiting, beckons....)

    I would like to know how you manage to attach four lenses to only two cameras! :confused:

    (Just kidding - I am a photographer - so need for clarification).

    I was somewhat surprised to note, looking at your list, that despite your high total I have nonetheless visited 30 collections which you have not - which rather goes to show that there is always somewhere new to be visited!

    Are you a strict aquaria specialist, Moorish? Surely you've *been* to conventional zoos as well? Aside from those with aquaria attached?

    Oh yes of course. As for zoo's i've visited atleast 20 zoos. Among them are Cincinnati Zoo, San Diego Zoo, San Francisco Zoo, Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, Viernheim Vogelpark, Luisenpark Mannheim, Cologne Zoological Gardens, Bioparco de Roma and The Paris Zoological Park.

    Usually I visit aquariums mostly because I find that more species can be included in a single tank than animals in an enclosure. I also have a long list of species i'd like to see in said aquaria.

    Living at opposite ends of the country, certainly we get to see some different places. For me, loads more places I’d really love to see, including lots on your list (Innsbruck especially).
