    Bumping this thread to ask if anyone has any general advice for this zoo. I know that Savana MEO is supposed to be their new exhibit for large African species like elephants, giraffes, and hippos

    I visited over New Years, probably stating the obvious but the Iberian Lynx were very elusive and got the impression only one had access to the on show enclosure, so I’d head right at the entrance and go there first as you’ll probably have to make multiple trips back that day to see them.

    Ngl, having visited the zoo, I feel it's somewhat mid with good and bad points. I have some suggestions that I think could improve the lot for many species there but that's for later.

    Last male passed. They stopped breeding them and let time do the rest.
