Improve a Zoo

[garyjp]

I know this might open a big can of worms - if you could improve one thing in one zoo only what would it be and why would you do it.?
My pick would be the Isle of Wight Zoo at Sandown I have been a regular visitor I suppose for 20 odd years and it seems to me they have lost there way a little from Zoo - to Tiger sanctuary. For me go back a little in time have some big cats but concentrate on lots of smaller mammals - so focus

I would improve the Sea lion pool at Flamingo Land as it is small and not the slightest bit natural.

I would improve banham zoo and add clouded leopard, smooth coated otters and sun bears and maybe lions but Africa alive have those so there might not be much point.

Apart from banham i would improve woburn safari park.

I have always thought it was large for Sealions! Mind you, I never thought it small when it had Cuddles the Killer Whale in it.....

My improvement to Flamingo Land, assuming there is no chance of Elephants ever returning, would be to build a new Bird Walk - the "Parrotsphere" is okay, but I preferred the good old Bird Walk.

Paignton. The whole Tapir, Capybara, Nocturnal house area needs replacing. They are pretty much bang on the money at this zoo, a decent Nocturnal house would in my opinion put this zoo firmly in the top 5 zoos in the country. (The top 2 in zoos i've personally visited.)

Cincinnati Zoo use the land next to NightHunters for the remaining cat species to have access to new outdoors exhibits

Having visited Copenhagen for the first time yesterday I would change the lion enclosure. It's not terrible but it is undersized and dated, and being right by the entrance it doesn't make a great first impression. The most exciting thing to do would be to build a large house behind it, put some nice tall climbing structures in it and then it could house orangutans. You could maybe move the gibbons in as well.
