My zoo list

Sun Wukong -
A pedant writes: the zoo is in the west half of the city, the tierpark in the east. The first two times I went there was a big wall between them! Not any more I know. Which half do you live in?

Western Plains Zoo is actually east of most of Australia - do you think it should be renamed? (just kidding)

 

I like that pic of the Doc langer, did you take it?

 

I am amazed and incredibly impressed by some of the lists on here...

One of the reasons I'm so happy to have found this site is that I get constant **** about my love of zoo's at work, (maybe the Police is not the place to be a zoo geek..!) but by seeing the knowledge (of zoo's) and dedication (by the amount of money spent) to visit them by all of you, I realise I have a lot to learn and have found some kindred spirits...

Anyway my (brief) list:

New Zealand:

Auckland Zoo
Lion Man Park
Hamilton Zoo
Rainbow Springs
Marineland
National Aquarium
Wellington Zoo

Australia:

Melbourne Zoo
Melbourne Aquarium
Werribee Open Range
Sydney Aquarium
Sydney Wildlife World
Taronga Zoo
Manly Aquarium
Western Plains Zoo
Australia Zoo
Mooloolaba Aquarium
Dream World (I don't really coun't this)

Well that's my list...

I think I have Zoo envy...

 

@Pygathrix: Neither, at the moment.. But believe it or not: I still meet people not knowing that the seperation is no longer...and I'm not talking about amnesia here.

 

your joking , right

 

German communism lives..!

 

@MARK: I wish I were-and @NZ Jeremy: unfortunately, yes...though said party does not display that too openly.

 

Seriously..? That was a joke (however bad) on my part...

 

Well, then take a closer look at some of the members of the "Die Linken"-party, especially the former PDS fraction (Stasi, anyone?):
The Left (Germany) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sorry to turn this topic into politics...

 

Mark - no I'm afraid I borrowed the picture. I've got a few from Cologne but they are very poor due to glass reflection etc

Sun (or is it Wukong? I'm trying to be informal) did you spot my other geopolitical error? Ireland is not in the UK!

 

@Pygathrix: Yepp-but neither did I want to appear of too much of a nitpicker (was given the broad hint with the "pedant" already...) nor did I want to start any Irish vs. Brits dispute...

Sun is formal enough-or You can also refer to me as "Your Royal Simian Highness"

 

I always wanted to be a zookeeper but like you I had to settle for the police.

 

We still could Boof, although I'd have to go without pay for a couple of years (don't know about that..!)

 

We could at least be security guards...
