Given zoogiraffe's comprehensive coverage, I won't upload my exhibit photos. If anyone has any requests, though, let me know.

that's a really hairy water buffalo! Is this normal in England? I've never seen one like that before.

In terms of mistakes they are quite obviously "confusing" domestic and wild water buffalo between their taxonomy and IUCN status but that is normal in zoos (as in, e.g. Bactrian camels or yaks).

I do like their Food Fact though - "their favourite food is grass" :D

It does look quite hairy, actually. Hadn't noticed that before.

Anyway, correct of course. Something of a zoo classic. In fairness to Noah's, though, the Bactrian camel sign gives the correct Latin name and makes it clear that the individual on-show is a domesticated animal, but the wild relatives are critically endangered.
 
Errors would be much easier to detect with horizontal photos... so no one need to end with pain in the neck ;)
 
Apologies on that score ;) For some reason, it comes out correctly when you click on the larger versions.
