I think it is removed when I occasionally visited there and I didn't see the plaque since the rebuilding of Europe on the Edge.
I think it would be negligent of the zoo. If they have removed this plaque!
Most of the answers are found in the book "zoo without bars". Mastermind researchers seem a little lazy.

I have looked for the book "Zoo without bars" everywhere, but it was out of print. I wonder if anyone know the book is available to buy? Last time, I enjoyed reading the book 25 years ago which it was in the library at Wilmslow, Cheshire!
The zoo's own library has (or at least had) a copy

Number 5 is Muriel Mottershead-The eldest daughter.
questions 1, 4, 10, 11, 13 and 14
of course of those six only 1, 11 and 13 needed any specific knowledge of Chester itself, and everybody must surely know 1 (11 and 13 I simply remembered from reading 'Zoo Without Bars' a while ago).
They do seem ridiculously simple questions overall if Chester Zoo is a chosen area of 'expertise'
The lady contestant obviously didn't think so. Obviously she hadn't read her 'Zoo without Bars' thoroughly enough..
I haven't seen a copy of that book for very many years now. Did it have 'Noelle' the female gorilla on the cover?

My paperback copy has mother and baby chimps on the cover.

Try e-bay copies crop up every now and again on the site.
that's probably the one I've got too. The Carousel edition from 1974. On the back is a photo of an elephant stretching over a moat.gentle lemur said:
That's the one. The funny thing about the elephant photo is that it's reversed (a mirror image) with the entrance of old Pachyderm House in the background - which is the same site as the current elephant house.
