I was there at the close down. Re-homed the Lions. Still have the letters of administration and the full inventory of the park at closure that was sent out to prospective buyers. Can't ever forget it. Still in the industry as Curator at Dartmoor Zoo of "We bought a zoo" fame. (Google it) Let me know...

Does anybody know if "Honey" the brown Bear came from Plymouth Zoo?

Been involved in just the same procedure. Very interesting, and dangerous for the Giraffe! Cool shot.

I was there throughout the process until the Lions were shipped off up north. I went with them. Park closed Oct 92 and i finally went in Feb 93. Rest of park followed and by Dec 93 pretty much everything was gone.

Thought you all might like to see this. It took four days to film for a thirty second advert! The bits of car the Baboons removed were made of sweets to encourage them to take them. Brilliant!

Right again dude. I have a shit memory eh! I remember that now you have said it! I got bollocked for it too, and i bollocked ditchy so we all got it in the end. I do remember him bein a bit of a pain! I wish Gonzo was on here to give his pennies worth, that would make good reading eh!

You have an amazing memory dude!!! As i was reading on it was all flooding back to me. I actually started laughing out loud!!! Big Al, if you remember, went to West Mids Safari Park, with me, to look after the Lions. He left after about 3 years to work for a catologue company picking and stacking lo...

I have to confess i cannot remember. Unless it was a rather cold bucket of water! I seem to remember one of those. How about when Gunner hid my bag high up a tree in the Lion reserve!!??
