Very distressing to see a grey nurse shark that had to fold its tail around to fit in the aquarium.
Tassie devil paced the entire time.
Monkey was pacing the entire time.
Tiger was pacing around and around.
This can be confirmed by the massive eroded track marks.
Bear was bored out of his brain, swaying from boredom.
Giraffe has no friend or toys or trees to keep him entertained.
Cotton top tamaran had no company, looked scared and screamed at various times.
He sat sadly nibbling away at the few weeds in his enclosure, while between this he would sway his neck back and forth in a distressed manner.
Many of the enclosures are in disrepair, the shelter and roof tops the tigers and primates get up onto are buckled, nails sticking out, so cheap to fix.
The entry is a few primates, this enclosure looks lovely, trying to give the impressive we have arrived at a wonderful zoo, pity the rest is so poorly cared for.
Staff seem very happy to zip around on their new 4 wheelers doing nothing at all related to the maintainance of the zoo. The noise of course sounded disturbingly loud.

I'd love to know where my admission fee is going as it is very clear to me that many of these animals are depressed and being kept in a careless manner.
This is the worst zoo I have seen, I will not be returning
