Huge exhibit

Nicely done photo of this huge exhibit. Our exhibits in San Diego are modest, only several meters wide and deep. The one at the children's zoo has a glass front to enable the kids to see inside.

Love your photos. Excellent!!
 
Thanks! It's a nice enough (and certainly generously-sized) exhibit but the Meerkats aren't quite used to it yet - the zoo was busy for Easter weekend and they were forever dashing in and out of the house!
 
Personally, I think the meerkats would've been better in an exhibit overlooking the African Savannah for more appropiate theming; the raccoons was a bit of a drastic loss IMO.
 
I'm not sure what happened to the raccoons. Shame to see them go, as you say.
 
Is it just me or is it unusual to see so much grass in a meerkat enclosure.
I do appreciate its new.
 
Looks very good, very different from the Meerkat exhibits that I've seen which are usually just sand dunes etc. Great photo.
 
I'm not sure what happened to the raccoons. Shame to see them go, as you say.

i think i read they went to beale park on the back of the parks guide.

i took loads of photos when i went to newquay but my camera broke and i lost them all :(
