I've just realised something. Are you the zoochatter who made the comprehensive lists of the San Diego zoo species? If so, thank you sooooooooooooooooo much! It helped me a lot when determining which animals to put in my own zoo and also helped me to plan my trip to San Diego.
Have you been to Africa Rocks?

Indeed he is.
 
I haven't because of numerous trips that have got in the way. I plan the family's trips and I still can't find a place to fit it in without making it just for the zoo
 
I have examined it and cross examined it though, so I probably know it better than an employee there :p
