That website is a lot better than the old one.

I don't know if Orana has promoted itself using the words "open range zoo" before, but it is certainly the NZ equivalent of Werribee, Monarto or Western Plains in Australia, being a rural zoo with larger numbers of larger mammals and fewer smaller exhibits. But all exhibits can be seen on foot. There is a shuttle bus that drives around the zoo too (not through any exhibits) and a lion exhibit that can be driven through on an additional tour. In the past the lion exhibit (and others I think) could be driven through by private vehicle. There are no massive mixed species hoofstock exhibits either, just paddocks of single species.

it is a much nicer and cleaner site to look at isn't it. I think it might still be uinder work, because if you go to the sections on animals there are only photos and no information on them.

In terms of the name, it has promoted itself as an open-range zoo at various times before. Then there were the times when it refused to use the word "zoo" at all, "because we aren't a zoo". Usual stuff.
