seriously, what's with the mud everywhere?! I know England is wet and rainy, but its not hard to put down substrates that don't leave the animals wallowing in mud all day!!
I honestly think it's a cool and unique idea for this place to have enrichment items that mimic something that the animals would actually prey upon in the wild but there should at least be a sign saying that the tortoise is fake.
All the exhibits I've viewed so far look pretty bad on here.
On Christmas I was at Wildlife World Zoo and they have a (live) blue duiker that lives with a pair of king vultures. A visitor asked me why they don't eat it and of course I gave the obvious answer that vultures eat dead animals and the duiker is not dead.
Now that I think about it, I should have said because king vultures are from South America and blue duikers are from Africa, so the birds don't know what it is!
