Here he is - he was put in a pool that was nowhere near big enough. I remember there being a tremendous outcry at the time

It was disgusting in the 70's and did shut down for a few years - I think they ran out of money and it need an overhaul.
It's a really good place now - really interesting for kids with the adventure area and a lot of conservation is going on.
My grandson can't wait until his 14, so he can be a keeper for a day. I adopted Jazz the orangutan for him a couple of years ago for his birthday and he gets to visit her (with a keeper).
Have a look at their website :
