Hello all, I'm currently editing zoo pages on Wikipedia and needed some help...

For Aussies:
The Melbourne Aquarium page is a mess and I've reached the end of my knowledge...

NZ ones:
Auckland Zoo
Wellington Zoo
Hamilton Zoo
Orana Park

It be good to add everyones knowledge and experience...

If you can click the link below it will take you to my home page there which has links to the various pages... Any corrections of erroneous facts, spelling, grammar or added photos and links would be much appreciated...

I'm at work at the moment so don't have time to really go through them but here's a pretty obvious error from Wellington

African Savannah - The main feature of this exhibit is the new giraffe house. This mixed species exhibit houses antelope species including zebra, ostrich and giraffes. Additionally most of the zoo's African species including cape hunting dogs and gelada baboons are kept at the rear of the zoo near to the African Savannah exhibit.

"antelope species including zebra, ostrich and giraffes" -- 'including' should read 'as well as'

and more importantly they aren't geladas they are hamadryas (sacred) baboons
 
LOL, I had a feeling that when I was writing the thread I should have put:

Attn Aussies (excluding patrick) and Kiwis...

If Melbourne Aquarium had poisoned me when I was there I don't think I'd have liked it much either...

Should I change the page to:

Melbourne Aquarium: Gives you the shits
 
melbourne Aquarium: gives you the legionaire's disease, which probably results in literally, the shits, as well as vomiting etc..
 
lol i didnt vomit- but im not an aquarium eprson, so i never take much away- though the new penguins should be good- also aquariums are only commercial enterpises mostly- a shame
 
Hamilton Zoo

Does Hamilton Zoo only have 2 tigers ? I thought that there were 3 there .
I also believe that they now have Wellingtons bats .

Do you know of anyone in Hamilton Zoo that you can ask to confirm these points ?
 
No unfortunately, I need to set up a few contacts due to the fact animal info is going to regularly change...
 
Hamilton Zoo

Please ignore my previous post of Hamilton Zoo -- the information was wrong .
