Flamingo Falls and Macaques on the Bank were officially opened today.
Flamingos and macaques move in! | Dudley Zoological Gardens
Whilst me and others have criticised that funds could have been better spent elsewhere, and questioned some of the logic behind the plans, there is no denying that these are yet more improvements for Dudley Zoo. Improving/smartening up enclosures, especially ones near the new entrance, and diversifying the way animal enclosures are viewed will no doubt improve the visitor experience and ultimately the zoo's growing reputation. Also, it's important to realise that improvements to the zoo won't stop here. I'm confident that more pressing issues, big and small, in other parts of the zoo will be addressed in time.
There have been recent murmurs of plans to extend the snow leopard enclosure as well as bringing in some exciting new species. I believe that the giraffes, tigers, orangs etc. will all get drastically better enclosures within the next 10 years.
Focus will now turn to Lorikeet Lookout, which is set to open in May.
