Wicksteed Park Wicksteed Park

Meerkat Manor was coined for an Oxford Scientific Films/ Animal Planet television series.

I wonder if it was copyrighted . . . ?
 
As do about 75% of stately homes, gardens, parks and other such places holding Christmas fayres and other seasonal events :p so I think it doesn't exactly count as counter-evidence against the idea the collection is now limited to meerkats, goats and a smattering of birds.
well they have indeed built a paddock for the reindeer

If you're implying that you believe this proves the collection keeps more captive species than previously discussed, I'm fairly sure I am correct in my suspicion those are wild/feral individuals free to come and go :p ;)

Always nice to see goslings mind you.

Feral Greylags. They seem everywhere in parks nowadays and places like Slimbridge are overrun with them too. They seem to have replaced Canadas in some areas as the 'urban-dwelling goose' but were unknown in this situation a few decades go.
