I had remarkable trip, indeed! Great company and great sights :) We will meet next time, don't worry.

The exhibit is just next to the American Alligator, after the turn.

I already had the most of the Exmoor's eligible spieces, but that didn't make my visit less exciting. This zoo is not for people with weak hearts! I can't count Fanaloka , West African ratel, Indochinese binturong, Indochinese smooth-coated otter or baby Dusky Pademelon, but was great joy to see them.

@ThylacineAlive, @ZooBinh what is your opinion about New Guinea singing dog ? Canis lupus halstromi ?

The final day in UK was bit of a rush between two places, but certainly well worth . Shaldon is a little gem situated on the beautiful south cost of England and despite it's small size have an animal that can justify 4 hours with plane. I can't count it, but that's not a big loss. Visitited the Axe Valley on the same day and updated the list of rarities seen in UK again. The Genets were off-show, cos the plan is to be transferred to the new area, but saw two unexpected ticks. Ztl is very out of date here.

158. Western woylie/ Bettongia penicillata ogilbyi

160. Common palm civet/ Paradoxurus hermaphroditus
161. Indochinese leopard cat/ Prionailurus bengalensis bengalensis
