Guess the zoo

Great!

Next question. This zoo is known for its white animals. What is the zoo and why are white animals appropriate inhabitants?
 
Is this a trick one and the answer is West Midlands safari park :p, with the second answer being it's not appropriate other than to make money?

Other than that, Innsbruck for the fact that some of the species have white winter coats?
 
A professor at Edinburgh University acquired a male Chapman’s zebra to use for breeding zebra x horse hybrids as part of his research.

• From what zoo did he obtain the zebra stallion?
• What zoo did the person who purchased most of these hybrids subsequently build?
 
The zebra was obtained from Carl Hagenbeck - Hamburg which was the founder of Hagenbecks Tierpark in Hamburg.
BTW, the professor - Cossar Ewart founded a "zoo" himself, the Marine zoological station at Aberdeen !

No, Cossar Ewar did not obtain the zebra from Carl Hagenbeck.
 
Here is the book with all the answers but I didn't have time sofar to read it :( :
The Penycuik experiments / - Biodiversity Heritage Library

Yes, I have a copy of this book; it is thoroughly recommended. (I didn't know it was available on-line.)

I think it was rather strange to have posted the link long before answering the question thereby spoiling it for others who may have wanted to participate.


By quick cross-reading the above book I discovered 'Matopo' the zebra was obtained from Antwerp Zoo :)

Yes, the male Chapman's zebra came from Antwerp Zoo. However, you have only answered the first half of the question.
 
Correct answer!

I don't remember Belgrade Zoo has an excessive amount of white animals. At least they did not 2 years ago. They had what looked like a 2 coloured lion (half white half coloured) but that was the only notable animal I saw.
 
Sorry Tim May, I didn't want to spoil the game :(.
It was I was happy about the progress I made in my search for the right answer that I posted the link to the book to early......
