I've got to say well done to ZSL for all of their films. My 18 month old daughter absolutely LOVES watching them when we talk about elephants and parrots and things and we can't wait to come up to see them properly.

The films are a great investment and even ones like this one with the keeper are as interesting for the grown ups.

Awesome stuff and keep them up!

The toronto zoo has a very simalir policy only they work in a special are for 6 months For example you work in an area for a few years and then another in a few years and then every 6 months you get moved so just like ZSL toronto zoo has a very similar policy

thier natural habitat is fast disapearing, i used to hate zoos too but now days they play a massive part in conservation.

So why don't you leave them where they belong. Hate Zoos with vigour ! This makes me angry.
