Fennec Foxes:
Thus it was a tragedy when a fire at the zoo in the early hours of 14 April destroyed the reptile and insect house and everything in it. We decided to go along and leave a donation in support. I was immediately fascinated by the marmosets and lemurs, bold monkey-like creatures.
Ring-tailed Lemurs:
Other people have also donated time and money to the zoo's rebuilding efforts. £42,500 has been raised to date, and local businesses such as 1st Choice glazing have offered labour and materials free to rebuild the reptile house.
Venerable reindeer:
The most amazing story at the zoo is that of three bears, rescued from a life of captivity in a European circus. They now have a large, mostly woodland site, and a private indoor area to get away from gawping people. I hadn't realised how much I would enjoy visiting a zoo and before we knew it, it was closing time - had we really been here for three hours?!

I'd heard about the fire on the news Craig. Real shame. If you were there for three hours it must be a bigger place than I'd thought.
Last time we climbed the Five Sisters bing a few years back the old retail park at the bottom was lying empty. Glad to see the area getting visitors again.
