Follow on Google News | ZSL London Zoo | Enjoy a room with a zoo....The world’s most destructive, dangerous and devious animal will be on display in a glass living room at ZSL London Zoo this May half term. For the Whitsun May bank holiday only, a human will occupy a Room with a Zoo.
By: ZSL London Zoo Designed to resemble a human’s natural habitat closely as possible, complete with an armchair, coffee table and, of course, a kettle, Room with a Zoo will allow visitors to study the unique behaviours of this common, yet strange, creature, whilst learning more about the effect it has on the Earth and the inhabitants it shares it with. The inhabitant of Room with a Zoo will take part in a daily enrichment exercise, and will be given enrichment objects such as books, newspapers and playing cards to keep them mentally stimulated and to encourage their natural activities. With access to both an indoor and outdoor area (including a deck chair to enjoy the bank holiday sunshine...) Visitors to ZSL London Zoo will be able to see a Room with a Zoo and its inhabitant from Saturday 23rd May until Monday 25th May 2009. From Tuesday 26th May until Sunday 31st May, the public will have the chance to explore the inside of the exhibit and experience for themselves a Room with a Zoo.
