Quite. Summer in the rainy North-West isn't always terribly tropical, either...

Well a bleak chill day is a bleak chill day, but speaking of the landscape, quite a large variety of suitable plants can be grown well there (many already are at Chester)

There was a sunny and warm day at Chester Zoo one year, I remember it.

Bet you don't remember which year!
Actually there were several beautiful days in 1976 - I remember them vividly as I returned from West Africa in that August and had problems getting used to the heat of the Wirral

It was 6th July 2013, the date of the mammal walk and talk, I also remember the hot weather of 1976, I like it hot and sunny, and it was the year I became a Chester member and I have not paid to enter Chester Zoo since then.
£30 - bargain, can I have one then?
Why spend millions if the same result can be achieved by doing it on the cheap.
Interesting video. I hope that the comment about 'themeing up' (sic) the orang exhibit, which might also be termed 'hamming up', does not mean that the themes will be overdone. I am also wondering what the Islands jungle with smell like, perhaps we could open a book on it

I am concerned that the whole project will be 'hammed up'.
That 'monsoon forest' humidity is going to play havoc with my hair and camera!

Just had a response form the Islands blog about the tapirs. They are NOT going to be part of Islands when it opens next year. Apparently they me be a later addition...
Sun bears were also mentioned in the initial announcement, if I remember correctly.

All of which may or may not be added at a later date as there will be space for new exhibits to be built afterwards!
