Best Dik Dik enclosure in the Benelux

[felis silvestris]

This is just a bit of fun to judge the general consensus on the best enclosure for Dik Diks in the Benelux. I have added a few photos from the gallery to make it easier for members to compare the different exhibits. If anyone wants to make an argument for a particular enclosure, please feel free to do so. Also, I would encourage people to list the enclosures in order of what they think is best.

If there are any outdated photos, collections that no longer hold them or people have photos for exhibits not in the gallery or with poor photos please let me know.

Antwerp

Unfortunately, there are no photos of this enclosure in the gallery. It would be extremely useful if someone who has visited can describe the exhibit and give an evaluation on its quality.

I omitted Antwerp because I know their animals are currently offshow.

I don't know where that information came from, but that is no longer the case. The Kirk's dik-diks at Antwerp went back on-show earlier this year, in the Mountain bongo paddock. In fact a calf was born today.

Oh thanks.

This aviary has since been demolished. The Dikdiks are now held in two places.

If you zoom in close enough in this picture you can actually see one in the background! (In the left half)

None of these are bad, but Beekse Bergen's okapi/dik-dik enclosure is the obvious winner here for me. It's simple, but perfect for Dik-diks.

Poll closed. Congratulations to Beekse Bergen for having the Best Dik Dik enclosure in the Benelux. The large paddock mixed with okapi gave them the win over the two other mixed exhibits which are also pretty good.

Beekse Bergen: 76.0%
Antwerp: 16.0%
Zie-Zoo: 8.0%

I will be making thread in the future for before I launch a thread to get photos in for it first if they are outdated.

Maybe you can ask for pictures on the previous thread for the next thread

(Well, that was a confusing sentence...)

Confusing for other people but I easily understood it
