This is pretty much the whole of the zoo. Straight ahead is the house for kinkajou, coendu and crocodile; to the right is the lemur house (they have an outdoor run behind it); to the right is the reptile shed, and next to it - just out of shot - the amphibian shed.

And are the enclosures a good size for these animals?

Yes; the immediate surroundings look very move into-able. I have heard that the owner, speaking on local TV news, spoke of one day wanting to have elephants there; certainly, during my visit, I overheard him talking to another visitor about one day having orang utans. Ambition is certainly to be applauded!



Yes. Most of the collection consists of reptiles and amphibians, who are in fairly standard vivs. The lemurs have a decent sized cage. The porcupines and kinkajous are not in vast accommodation - but it seemed pretty fine. I would worry about the promised rusty spotted cats, though - the space reserved for them is not large at all!
