5 Must See Zoos Before You Die

I choose my zoos by another way: one zoo from each continent (Americas counting as one because "Five zoo limit").
Europe - Chester
America - San Diego (if I could count Zoo and WAP as one...)
Asia - Singapore (again Zoo and Night Safari together)
Australia - Healesville
Africa - Pretoria
 
One thing that annoys me the most is when zoos list animals on there webpage and that don't have the species anymore. I mean it's like come on people get with the program. I thought zoo's hire people for that position. To update us on events,happenings,new animals etc... thks pacarana for the update of the mishmi takins. thats sad that theyre not there anymore.

I understand completely. :)

It is sad because they were a rare little gem. ;)
 
maybe you could try to make it to Singapore at the end of this year when the new collections open?

I'd like to, but I won't have any leave left at that time. Gotta lotta travelling to do this year, starting next month for about a week, then most of July and August.

:p

ah excellent. Travel broadens the mind.....and empties the wallet. I'm not sure I'm going to get anywhere this year except Singapore (and hopefully Tasmania.....)
 
And did Rotterdam live up to expectations?

It definitely did. Thanks for asking. It's currently in #1 position of all of the zoos I've seen. I visited three zoos in three days and all of them were excellent. I stayed in Antwerp for a couple of days and visited on my last day there. I didn't stay overnight in Rotterdam but caught an early train from Antwerp, saw the zoo and then caught a late train onto Amsterdam. And I visited Artis on my first day in Amsterdam. I've been typing reviews in a word document because I can only do it when I get a little bit of free time here and there. I'll probably post them, along with some photos, when I get home.
