Hello, this is AndyJ08, and this is a comprehensive list of all species present during my July visit to ZooWorld in Panama City Beach, Florida. This is most likely the only complete species list online, as the species exhibits are changing all the time. Lemur Encounter is a medium-sized, roofed...

I was surprised to see this magical sounding little zoo in Spain did not have a thread yet, so here we go. Again thanks to the IZES newsletter, Tim Brown tells us that the zoo has inherited or taken over the now closed collection of the Senda bird park in Churriana, and even more incredibly can...

Hi so I am attempting a career change to become a zookeeper. I have 2 qualifications I am looking at , Btec Extended Diploma in Animal Management Or the DMZAA Which one is more favourable? The first involves me attending college , the second is distance learning but I'm unsure which is...

I think anyone who uses YouTube or any of the short-form video sites will be familiar with "life could be a dream" which was a semi-popular genre of video's from around 2-3 years ago which consisted of goofy clips of primates, mostly Chimps and Orangutans, with the song Life could be a dream...

Sort of an unofficial sequel to the what is/are the worst kinds of zoo visitors? thread that I created, I would be intrested for you to share the stories of the weirdest, craziest things you've seen at a zoo. Not as in "this enclosure was terrible" or "I got really close to this rare animal", I...

This is to judge which of NZ's 4 major zoo's (Auckland, Hamilton, Wellington & Orana) is the best. Feel free to share and discuss your opinions in the thread, I would love to hear them. May the best zoo win! I have included some images from the gallery to refresh people's opinions, and to give...

Thought It would be interesting to post this as I saw things like this for theme parks. Keep discussion civil (for obvious reasons) and keep people that you wish to discuss anonymous. I would be very interested to hear your thoughts!

I visited Disney's Animal Kingdom about 6 months ago, and after going on the Kilimanjaro Safari and the train that takes you to Rafiki's Planet Watch, I was wondering if any other zoos have attractions like these? I know that the Night Safari at Singapore has a tram ride and that San Diego Zoo...

Since June 2023, a new private animal collection with regular opening hours exists in town Česká Skalice (20 km east of Dvur Kralove). It doesnt have a zoo licence, but it collects an entry fee. Can´t find any info on total area but probably pretty small. Based on few pics online it is more of...

Can you think of any "big name" / historically significant zoos that are no longer top-tier zoos in 2024? Zoos that may have a decreasing animal collection, outdated facilities, or a lack of growth, and seem like their biggest claim to fame is that they were an elite zoo 50-100 years ago?

Hello zoo chatters! I will be visiting Singapore this March, and while there are many other threads like this, I would just like to make one exclusively for this trip. This will be an only-zoo-and-nature-reserve/park trip, and I will only visit the local area or landmarks if there is time. I...

After a recent zoological trip to Czechia, where I discovered collections like Zájezd and Dvorec which contain Europe's best selection of Chameleons and Cobras respectively, I was wondering what other zoos, large or small, harbour Europe's premier collections of particular taxonomic groups. Some...

Hello, First time using this forum, so bear with me. I am a long time animal enthusiast that has most of my experience with wolves and other canine for the past 15 years now. The premise of the zoo will be a "Wolf & Wildlife Center" starting off I want to focus on animals native to North...

Good evening everybody, I've noticed that manatees are only kept in two or three zoos/aquariums in the US outside of Florida. Is there a particular reason why so many US zoos and aquariums don't have manatees? Is it because of cost, laws, or something else? Thank you & excited to see the responses!

I am a current architecture student and I am proposing a thesis project for an aquarium. I have been looking for established zoos or cities that may not have an aquarium, but could support one or may already have one that needs to be reimagined. Smaller or larger zoos and cities anywhere in the...

The Zoo has officially announced the arrival of their rescued American Marten. The Marten has been named Marty McFly and is a male. I'm really hoping to see him next time I visit the zoo, as I have yet to see his species before! Log in to Facebook
