UK forumsters will be happy to know I have fit Highland Wildlife Park and Edinburgh Zoo into my plans (replacing Thrigby Hall and Howletts).
I will be planning a trip to San Diego for late May to see the new Australian exhibit. I don't travel as much as I used to. I haven't even been to Bearizona yet.
I'd wait for tasmanian devils to be there. they will be showing up later, but koala, buerger's and matschie's tree kangaroo, wallaby, common and southern hairy-nosed wombat, echidna and ringtail possum will be there for the opening. not sure if perentie are for the exhibit, but they are at the Zoo, at least.
Cool I didn't know they had 2 kinds of wombat and 2 kinds of tree kangaroo and the ringtail possum! Been a while since a ringtail possum has been in the US! Anyone remember any in the US before?
the common wombats and common ringtails came over in November: http://www.zoo.org.au/news/bon-voyage-wombats Rescued wombats go up, up and away to USA | News.com.au
Revised and final Europe plan (listed in order of visits): London Zoo (if time on afternoon of arrival) Highlands Wildlife Park Edinburgh Zoo Wildlife Heritage Foundation Zoobotanico Jerez Le Parc Des Felins (4 days ) Port Lympne
You're gonna get yourself some great cat shots! Especially jealous of Jerez! Any coincidence you're visiting just after they put the Iberian Lynx on exhibit?
So, these are my plans: January: - Zoo Santo Inacio - Parque Biológico de Gaia - Zoo de Lagos April: - Jardim Zoológico de Lisboa - Oceanário de Lisboa Summer (May, June, July, August, September): - Zoo de Lagos - ZooMarine - Badoca Safari Park - ZooBotanico Jerez - Oceanographic Valencia - Bioparc Valencia - Bioparc Fuengirola - Terra Natura Benidorm Bold - Already visted Italic - Planned but not done Underline - Planned
He was hinting that the only reason he thinks you're going is because of the lynx- which is probably true! Then again, who wouldn't it be true for!! ~Thylo
Well things haven't gone quite to plan as the week I was in London (Jan 12-20) coincided with heavy snow and I never made it to London Zoo or Whipsnade. However I did make it back to Edinburgh Zoo earlier this month and have been to the Highland Wildlife Park 4 times already this year. I also made it to the Five Sisters Zoo, the Scottish Deer Centre and the Scottish Sealife Sanctuary and while visiting friends in Warrington I made my first visits to Knowlsey Safari Park and Chester Zoo.
I've already got my first zoo visit of the year (macduff), and during the holidays I should get my 2nd, 3rd, and perhaps 4th zoos (Hazelhead park pets corner, trotters world of animals, and perhaps aberdeen zoology building if they have any animals in the building (which they may)).
Is that Macduff Marine Aquarium you're referring to? Is it worth a visit, as I'm just along the coast in Inverness at the moment.
I wouldn't travel for more than an hour. It's quite good, but lacks birds, reptiles, amphibians, and mammals. I'm actually planning to do a review in the next few days just PM me if you want more info
OK, thanks for that, I'll probably only visit if I'm passing through. I notice the entrance fee is a reasonable £6.20 whereas when I visited the Scottish Sealife Sanctuary (nr Oban) in February it was a whopping £13.20, which I thought was a bit steep! Granted it had a couple of Canadian River Otters and a few recovering seals but that's more expensive than the Highland Wildlife Park!
Las Vegas Zoo (return) Columbus Zoo Mandalay bay Aquarium I know I'm going to the LV zoo and the aquarium but Im not sure about the Columbus Zoo. Anyone know any good zoos within a couple hours of San Diego.
