) - but I think it's mostly simply because French zoos are overall the most like the familiar British ones in design - and they're generally not particularly rich in species you can't see in the UK either (mid-size zoos in both are prone to being a bit EEP-y - perfectly valid, but less likely to prompt an international trip..!). That said, I did a Loire Valley zoo trip a couple of years back and it was great.
This is generally true (Timor-Leste aside

People go to Germany more than Krefeld or Hanover. There are a lot of good zoos nearby. France got Beauval, Doue and that's basically it.I see your point, wasn't aimed at you per se but just as an observation of a more general trend

I just want to say that I whole hardily agree that this thread has completely shifted from what I had originally intended. Animal jokes are fun, but I was hoping for stuff regarding ZooChat itself or very niche jokes about certain zoos that only a zoo nerd would get. There is still some of that, but it comes few and far between various animal puns and jokes.Well, let's be honest - most of this thread has somewhat diverged from the original point
