The Zoo’ best on the box four years running

'The Zoo', featuring the life and times of animals and their keepers at Auckland Zoo, has been voted 'Best Reality Documentary Series' in The TV Guide People's Choice Awards for the fourth year in a row.

‘The Zoo’ gained 30 per cent of the votes in its category. A seventh series is currently in the making, which will be on screen in 2005. Fans of the programme can also take a walk down memory lane over the festive season with ‘The Best of The Zoo’ playing on TV2 at 7pm every weeknight from Monday 27 December.

The Zoo TV programmes

I can certainly vouch for theses series -- they show what life is like at the zoo -- good ,bad , amusing , mundane -- the whole works .
The series are also available on videos . I buy a video each time a new series comes out , and send to Forum member "Jay" The video is exactly the same as the TV , but minus the adverts.
This medium has certainly helped Auckland Zoo with its education about conservation , as well as a promotion tool for the zoo ( nation wide advertising )
Does any other zoo in Australia ( apart from Steve Irwin ) utilise TV as a useful tool ?
