    Manatees have been listed as one of the prospective animals in inhabit Bristol zoo's new "National Wildlife Conservation Park".

    Can anyone confirm whether they are still on the agenda? Judging by the website it's looking possible but I was wondering whether anyone had any additional info.

    I do wonder if Bristol have the funding in place to proceed with the project once all planning has been agreed .

    Whoa I thought it was 2012, seems likely that there will be funding issues. It sounds like a huge job!
