Drusillas Zoo Park
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Drusillas Zoo Park is a fairly large zoo near to Alfriston, in East Sussex.
It offers many domestic and wild animals to see, perhaps most famously lemurs and meerkats, and also cafés, a gift shop, and train rides.
It is a very child-friendy centre.
Although the cages for the crocodiles, monkeys and owls are very small, the zoo has an environmental enrichment programme designed to combat boredom and stereotypical behaviour in the animals.
In the last few years, the zoo has increased its number of animal exhibits by making some of the existing enclosures smaller. In particular the wallabies and otters have lost some of their habitat to new exhibits for Praire Dogs and Ring-tailed Coatis. As a result, sixteen Red-necked wallabies and two mara have turned a grass paddock to mud, but the zoo appears to continue to allow these animals to breed regardless of lack of space.
