A thread for asking about walk-through exhibits, after the excellent thread of @snowleopard showed a number of zoos keeping sitatunga in walkthrough paddocks.
Are there any walk-through exhibits with any gazelle species?
Today, I visited my 37th zoological collection - the Hawk Conservancy Trust. As I am spending the weekend with maternal family members in rural Wiltshire, we decided to kick our October half-term into gear by spending the first day of the holiday at this decently sized birds of prey zoo in the...
This is an exhibit-by-exhibit walkthrough account of ZSL London Zoo, my home zoo. It will not be in as much detail as, say, my Burgers' review, as this is a collection with which I am extremely familiar and I will not need to waste time on first impressions. It will also be arranged by exhibits...
