Thank-you zoochatters some really interesting concepts here.

I actually thought there would be allot more. Not to suggest the above is a comprehensive list although, l would be now surprised if the total number was double this amount given our combined resources.

Amazona Zoo (UK) 2008
Alton Towers Sealife Centre (UK) 2010
Axe Valley Bird and Animal Park (UK) 200?
Bluereef Aquarium Bristol (UK) 2010
Five Sisters Zoo Park (UK) 200?
Lenwade Zoological Gardens (UK) 2008 closed 2009
Loch Lomond Sealife Centre (UK) 2007
Rare Species Conservation Centre (UK) 200? now closed to the public

Probably alot more from the UK but cannot think of any more off the top of my head.
Will add others if I think of them.
