'Big 5'

[Giant Eland]

Well, you're too late for the lemur now....

Yes, I’ve heard. Although I’m not sure how many visitors had ever seen that lemur. A Swiss girl joined me for the Kenya leg of my recent trip and she had been to 3 or 4 night tours at the Madagascar exhibit (back when it was still around) and never saw it!

Top 5 19th Century City Zoos:
1. Schönbrunn Vienna
2. Antwerp Zoo
3. Jardin des Plantes Paris
4. Artis Amsterdam
5. Allatkert Budapest

Surely London?

For Big 5 in Indonesia, I guess I'm gonna go with:
1. Batu Secret Zoo
2. Taman Safari Bogor
3. Ragunan Zoo
4. Taman Safari Prigen
5. Bali Safari & Marine Park

There aren't a lot of great Indonesian zoos here, which is why all three Taman Safari parks dominated them all, but if I group them together, I think Bali Zoo and Gembira Loka can fill those spots.

Good thing I saw them in Madagascar
