Captive Animals Zoo Thread

[Uncle Kevriano]

The hotel, kiddie attractions, they ruined the tiger area, I am not sure if that has changed

No kiddie attractions, and the Tiger area is how it's always been since we've been visiting, though it's 2.5 years since our last visit, so perhaps there were some things they did in Covid times that have now gone. They are currently rebuilding the Amazon area. The Hotel and Hive area is OK though, it's meant they have expanded the zoo. New Sealion Pool is great, and they have a few other new species.

Yep they changed a lot during Covid some of those changes resulted in the tiger enclosure being reduced in size and becoming partly flooded and the waterfall not being used and lower pool last time I visited.

No that's all back up and running and back to full size. The Tigers were great. I have 1400 pics to go through so I'll get to them.

Sort of takes the challenge out of it. But then, I’ve never been to Africa!
