My fave animal is the Gemsbok and that's an un-popular with visitors. Chester's exhibit isn't fancy and expensive but i like it, as it's simple and so easy to see them and to be honest i prefer that exhibit to RoRA or other expensive exhibits in the zoo. Don't get me wrong I want chester to make new exhibits for their animals as some are getting old and don't fit the animals needs anymore but some exhibits childhood memories. I'm sad the otter exhibit is gone as I had really good memories of it.

True, I love the Gemsbok enclosure and I loved the old Otter enclosure and spent alot of time there along with the parrots and diamond doves, it is sad to see it turned into a lawn but im also happy to see them with the babirusa and with the orangs .

Thats the thing with living near such a zoo, its always changing for the better but you sometimes loose those special enclosures that you enjoyed so much :( but also :)
 
Ah I love the meerkat bench at Chester.
Paignton has a great exhibit for cusimanse and fruit bats, species I forget. It's the old penguin pool, netted over with a raised walkway through it. The bats are on the side with the old penguin dens and they're free to fly around, and the cusimanse are confined to the other side. It's simple but really cool to show these species off.

so what happened to the penguins?
 
Are the sloth, armadillos and bush babies still mixed in that house also? Have the cuisimanse replaced the azaras agoutis that where beneath the bats?

Thanks!
 
Yes they were still mixed last time I went, and the cusimanse are on the other side of the exhibit to the bats, so the agoutis are still there.
