Hi all, I came across the forum by chance and decided to sign up! Although my day job is note remotely related to zoology. I've been involved in conservation for over 15 years through in-situ and ex-situ voluntary work in the EMEA region. Currently, a volunteer primate keeper at ZSL London...

Hi. From August 24 to 28 I will be in London. I would like to visit several zoos (Hamerton, Cedars Nature Center, some in the Canterbury and London area). I would like to know how to get from London to Hamerton and Canterbury. Is it possible by public transport? Thank you

Yeah, so apparently you'll be able to ice skate with Humboldt's penguins at a London ice rink on the 19th of January! Any takers? You'll soon be able to ice-skate with real penguins in London, and PETA isn't happy | Metro News

Was just wondering if anyone here was planning on going to Tetzoocon on the 21st October? There are apparently a few tickets left and was seriously considering it, especially if there was a ZooChat contingent! TetZooCon

I am a painter living and working in London and have recently embarked on a project to make a modern day bestiary (a kind of medieval encyclopedia of animals). I have been researching animals and evolution for about six months now, reading books by Konrad Lorenz, Richard Dawkins and more...

Hi, this is my first thread. I have been reading a few threads, and some of the posts ask about what specific animals certain zoos have, and when people reply they say they have looked at the inventory for that zoo. I just wondered how you can see the different inventories for the zoos? I would...

I've just found hidden away this old London Zoo map, drawn by JP Sayer and cost sixpence! Can anyone help me with the year of printing and is anyone interested in buying it?!

Dear all, I am currently working on my PhD. Please could I trouble you to complete this survey - it includes zoos within it and, although perhaps not the most relevant topic on here, it is one place where I can find people who have visited zoos! https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/CCLRXGT...

Has anyone else seen this? It looks fantastic as an exhibit, even not being able to see much detail. The most interesting thing seems to be the tapirs in the Casson (and presumably, the hippos in Into Africa). New tiger exhibit at ZSL London Zoo

Malcolm Whitehead, Head of Discovery and Learning at ZSL London Zoo suddenly resigned last week. Malcolm Whitehead | ISOTOPE It is not know why exactly he resigned but a possibility is a major conflict with the Directors above. When Ken Livingstone (former Vice-President of ZSL) was Mayor...

This applies to Whipsnade too. The ZSL animal inventories for 2009 at both London and Whipsnade are now online: Animal inventory

Does anyone know what the current building work in the Clore is for? The posters outside don't reveal much other than there's a new exhibit opening in March 2010 and it has something to do with day and night... I assume that it's just a rehash of what's already there and maybe opening up some...

Someone who knows what kind of bird this might be? The picture is from London Zoo and the bird was found just inside the entrance, it was the first animal we saw. November 2005.
