ZSL Whipsnade Zoo Whipsnade Big 5

I think they're the sort of main attrations at each of the zoos bus stops.
 
It looks a small publicity statement to let them now that the zoo has the big 5 zoo animals (not that anyone wont know!);)
And they are the main animals were the bus stops at each time.
Regards
 
"Big 5" is a common term for the 5 largest, most impressive species which you can hunt (or nowadays, fotograph) when going on safari in Africa - african elephant, white rhino, lion, leopard, cape buffalo. Giraffes are not part of the "big 5"! Whipsnade has borrowed this term and made some adjustments, hm.

As I stated in the opening post, it's a random assortment.

I knew of the African Big 5, but Yassa's description is probably where the Whipsnade one comes from. Those 5 are the most likely ones to be photographed at Whipsnade

but people will almost certenly want to photograph the penguins, the cheetah, the hippos, the tigers, the merkats, the wolves and the white rhinos
 
Like myself and Riziki said, they're the 5 biggest attractions at the bus stops in the zoo, as the zoo has an internal bus route due to it's size.
 
Ha!

lol! It is nothing to do with the bus route!

The Big 5 are just 5 of the biggest animals available to see at the zoo. There are also talks and demonstrations re: these animals.

The bigger animals tend to be the most popular and viewed anyway! :)

But correct me if i`m wrong but aren`t all of Whipsnades BIG 5 at or very near to a bus stop,if so technically it is inter linked with the bus route even if that was how Whipsnade planned it.
 
No, you are correct zoogiraffe, so we were right even if the park didn't plan it.

Thank god for that for awhile i thought i was going mad and it was time for me to up the medication again to bring me back to normal but it seems i must already be as normal as i`m ever going to get.
 
What i was actually saying was that "the big 5" had nothing to do with the bus route. I never actually argued that they weren't on route! But to be fair most of the animals are on route around the zoo, big or small, lol That's the whole point of the bus! lol!

If it was connected to the bus route then where are the white rhinos, cheetahs, tigers, childrens farm! lol! So there. . . . . lol :p
 
Lol yeah we got that, just thought it was strange that that seems like the most obvious explanation when it actually has nothing to do with it.
 
i think the bus route about it isnt strictly true coz it stops by the farm and chimps i think the reason they choose them animals is because they have newer exhibits built around them or babies and ive heard whilst i was on my voluntary work there that they are planning on redoing the bears exhibit hence the bears on the big 5
 
Thats brilliant news they have a really good enclosure at the moment but the iron bars are a bit offputting! It shows how good enclosures can last for so long as this was an original enclosure.
