Jersey Zoological Park is included in the 2007 Wikipedia for Schools, or is a candidate for inclusion in future versions. Please maintain high quality standards, and make an extra effort to include free images, because non-free images cannot be used on the CDs. |
The list of animals in the breeding program is not in any order. Would is be easier for the reader for the lists to be in some sort of order, and divided into: animals, birds, reptiles, and so on?
It would be great if the zoo would help with providing more information about the animals on the list and provide photographs for linked pages. Snowman 22:03, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
I have removed "Ring-tailed lemur" and "Black and white ruffed lemur" from the list of species currently being bred: the park currently has three male ring-tails (brothers) and two male b&w ruffed (father and son) - and it 'retiring' them from active breeding service. These could probably be added back in if someone can dig out a date for when they ended.
- Black-and-White Ruffed Lemur 1982-??
- Ring-tailed Lemur 1964-??

Also, it occurs to me that if possible, it would be good to separate the animals which are part of breeding programmes from the other stock which the zoo keeps as tourist fodder. 86.144.144.124 17:52, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Title of article
As far as I am aware, they are no longer calling themselves "Jersey Zoo" (despite what maps, buses, etc. still say) and are now calling themselves Durrell Wildlife or something similar. Should the name of the article not be changed? TomPhil 23:43, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
- Well, maybe not yet, since they themselves still have "Jersey Zoo" on their own online map [1]! But I'll put a mention in the intro. - DavidWBrooks 19:11, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

- It appears they have now updated the map as well 86.144.144.124 17:43, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Fluff in animal listings
An anon editor who appears to be attached to the Zoo is adding valuable information regarding the animal collection. Please try and refrain from including fluff and promotional POV statements such as so that should the worst happen in the wild, this lemur will not be lost forever and Roaming Free.....If you hear a tamarin chatting above you as you walk around the park... Let the facts speak for themselves. Otherwise please feel free to continue to add information. --Michael Johnson (talk) 04:38, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
