You’ve certainly posted some interesting photographs, Andrew; these have brought back many memories.

There was a time when the Camel House (now the Pygmy Hippopotamus House) provided accommodation for Arabian camels, Bactrian camels, vicuna, alpaca, guanaco and llama; how times change.

Thank-you Tim, I'm pleased you are enjoying them - I wish I had more photographs. As far as I am concerned those were the good old days, but as you say times change.

I'm not sure they were the good old days, but I certainly think that between then and now the baby got chucked out with the bathwater...:(

But - thank you so much for posting the photos, Andrew. :D
 
My pleasure Animal Friendly and Ian. As someone who lives in the past the 1960s were the good old days of zoos in my lifetime, but then I was seeing everything through the eyes of a child - and an uncritical one where zoos were concerned at that.
