I've just returned from Portugal and had half a day at the Lisbon zoo. Like most zoos it had good and bad points. As others have noted, there has been and there continues to be a lot of work underway. I'll think more about this and try to do a fairly comprehensive point. Off hand, I thought that all birds were poorly housed (squashed) and that elephants and giraffes should be somewhere in much wider spaces.
My favourites (although not necessarily the best housed) were the okapi, Indian rhinoceros and tapirs - so many young!
More later - anything special needed?

Hey, welcome, I'm a some-what fan of the three-toed ungulates as well, espcially asian Rhinos and Tapirs,
