    Went there on end of August 2017
    It seem they make some changes the BUGS exhibits
    they removed the naked mole-rat, brown rat, red-tailed green ratsnake and the fishes
    the birds are still there though

    they also have a place filled with animamotronic dinosaurs

    Does anyone know the situation with the giant anteaters as the dinosaurs looked quite permanent? Thanks

    The dinosaur models left the zoo at the end of the school holidays.

    A new male southern tamandua ("Toby") has been introduced to the rainforest, to be a companion to Ria, the existing female.

    I think I finally admit defeat to a certain collection in Cheshire compared to the 2 ZSL sites!
    The imagination and "build all the time" can do attitude of Chester certainly trumps London and Whipsnade!!
    Lucky North West!!

    All we can hope for is that the changes at the top lead to improved collections at both sites!

    The London Tube style enclosure for brown rats has been cleared and refurbished with a naturalistic theme, looks suitable for a small, arboreal species.

    Just realised I don't think I had any photos of that Tube enclosure :(
