Dartmoor Zoo Benjamin Mee interview

[Marcellus]

I came across this US radio interview with Benjamin Mee.
Which maybe of interest...
It's a general interview talking about his book, but is followed by a phone in too.
Some of it is quite interesting, particularly talk of Elephants in the future at around 34 minutes in....

WAMU 88.5 FM American University Radio - The Diane Rehm Show for Wednesday September 10, 2008

He has lots of ideas for the future, including animals such as Giraffes aswell as elephants.

Depends what happens in the UK/World economy whether this plans actually go ahead.

I sat down and read Benjamin Mee's book in a single day, and it is a fascinating account of both grief in his family and the purchase and operation of the zoo. Terrific book!

elephants is he talking about 50 years time?

Apparently Mr Mee is on the One Show tonight. This should be interesting, because i haven't seen any improvement in the place since my first visit, just after he took it over.

The place is shockingly bad considering!
