Hi my name is Chris and I live in Edinburgh. I am a council member at Edinburgh Zoo. I visit at least once a week. At the moment the Zoo is starting it's masterplan. At the moment we are building a new Chimp exhibit which will be called 'Budongo' which will be able to house 40 chimps. The following is a list of Zoo's I have visited:- Edinburgh London Chester Marwell Colchester Paignton Bristol Longleat Berlin Cologne Amsterdam Rotterdam Amersfoort Arnhem (Burgers) Dolfinarium Harderwijk Antwerp Dublin Belfast San Diego San Francisco Seaworld San Diego Seaworld Orlando Disney Animal Kingdom Bronx Busch Gardens

I've been to Edinburgh twice and hope to visit again soon because I want to see the Japanese macaques, white-lipped deer and Kuhl's deer. I joined 6 days ago and so far I've enjoyed every minute of my time here.
