As I mentioned in the zoo's news thread, lots of changes seem to have been made recently at the zoo. I mentioned a few there, but decided it would be simpler to make a species list.

As this zoo isn't really sorted into 'complexes' like other zoos are, I will be sorting them into 'type' of animal. Please note that this may or may not mean the exhibits are close together.

I’ve only seen one episode of the show “ my life is a zoo “ but I really think that bigger and better enclosures can be added.

It's a very mixed bag.

On one hand, the tigers, lions, bears, hippo, and turkeys get excellent exhibits better than some AZA zoos. A few animals though, especially the primates, have bad enclosures. A new primate complex is planned, however. :D

I suppose I could write a review if anyone is interested.

What breed of cow, goat, and sheep?

I don't keep lists of domestic breeds when I visit zoos. If you know how to identify them, you could look through the gallery. I suspect the goats were African Pygmy. As for cows, I remember seeing a zebu and what I think was a Holstein, maybe? I have no idea about the sheep.
