    Toddy, will anyone be doing a review of Skaerup zoo, have had a look at their website, an interesting little collection there with dhole, Chinese leopard, vicuna and Mishmi takin amongst others.
    I take it is a privately owned zoo, with a photo of the owners on the website?

    I wont do a review of Skaerup any time soon, since I haven't been there :(. I would love to go however, since it is the largest minizoo in Denmark. A friend of mine visited it this summer, and said a lot of good things about it. They have some interesting and somewhat rare animals. And yes, it is privately owned, but I dont' think it's owners have very big ambitions. That's sad, because i really think that it could become something.

    Update

    Three new reviews are now online! Two of these are of London Zoo and Parc Paradisio by Writhedhornbill, and the third is of West Midlands Safari Park by CZJimmy.

    Check them out here

    I would like to thank Writhedhornbill and CZJimmy for writing these, and hope that more will follow, both from them and from others.

    Great reviews on the website! I loved the long Chester Zoo review by Writhedhornbill, and was shocked that the 10 elephants there are located on only 2 acres of land. That seems like a puny amount of space for the world's largest land mammal.

    I don't want to be a nit picker toddy/jonathon, but is there a pair of aye aye at wmsp, i thought they only had one male, i haven't looked at isis yet so i may be wrong. Good review of the park though.
    Also on your London review T/J Cincinnati zoo was the first to breed the cloudrunners about 10 years ago and the group has since died out.
    I feel really bad now, like the panto villain everyone out there booing me.

    No, they only have the single male in with the Madagascan Jumping Rats, I made a mistake whilst typing it up.

    I also made a mistake in saying that it was a pair of leopards as well...

    It's my review by the way;)

    I read that London had bred them first, but that must be in the U.K or Europe.

    You know I can't recieve it that way, so that would just be pointless. Besides, it just came in, and is working fine.
