I've recently been introduced to ZooBeat and thought I would introduce myself. I have been following the discussions keenly and have found them really interesting, and will hope to contribute to them in the future.
I can't say I've been to many zoos in OZ but have been to a number of sanctuaries and national parks in India and Nepal. My favourite by far was Chitwan National Park in Nepal. They have a fantastic elephant breeding centre.
I was at Chitwan in April this year! It is a beautiful, mesmerising place with an incredible variety of birds. Saw lots of Indian rhinos and gharials but no tiger sadly.
