Oh my you would so love Melbourne Zoo then, and it's sister zoo Healesville and Werribee. Melbourne zoo is one of the world's foremost leaders in enclosure design and breeding of endangered animals, the kind that simply will NOT breed unless they are 100% happy and comfortable. The enclosures are soooooo beautiful so the humans enjoy them too. In fact esp the wildcat ones can be a PITA, as can the otters, badgers, some of the bird flights and the reptiles as they are so heavily planted over to simulate the natural environment that it can almost impossible to see the animals!!!! ALL the enclosures are always being worked on for the betterment of the animals lives, it's really good to see. They have keapt one of the old cages to show people what animals used to be exposed to, it's so sad to see it, but so uplifting to see how much work/knowledge has been used since those days.
