    Unfortunately it was a spur of the moment thing so I didn't bring a good camera. But I enjoyed it anyway.

    I've seen a lot of concerns over the general public not enjoying zoos without abcs, TP has the amur leopards and that's about it. There were still plenty of people cooing over the bush dogs and the corsac foxes, both active and very charming as the leopard. And of course the birds of prey were a big draw, especially the huge griffon vulture. The magnificent japanese cranes also drew plenty of interest and looked amazing

    The enclosures are on the whole nice, plenty of space for most of the species and cover for those who like it. The main disappointment was that one of tayras was pacing and pacing, the other seemed fine.

    I was surprised by how tiny the bush dogs and corsac foxes were, utterly charming though.
