I'm just glad no-one spotted I referred to 'two South American' species after specifically stating they were Central American Agoutis in the photo caption. That would've been embarrassing.
Good news on the outdoor enclosures for koalas though - they certainly have the climate for it (usually!).
How did you find the rest of the place, Pygathrix?
Overall I enjoyed it. The exhibits are mostly fine although there isn't really anything with the wow factor (except maybe the chair lift which was great). I liked the ape house and the lion enclosure. I thought there might have been more emphasis on Brazilian species given Portugal's connections but that doesn't really appear to be the case. I thought the standard of the signage was very good. It's definitely worth a visit.

That seems a fair assessment. There are not a large number of Brazilian species but I did notice the more unusual Brazilian form of Hawk-headed Parrot and a few notable Angolan species though - giraffes and Black-faced Impala in particular.
