Seeing as I was camping just up the road from this place over the weekend, thought I'd investigate.
Just a few shots of some of the creatures there.
Definately worth a visit, & they offer 'photo days' when they're closed to the public.

Thanks for the comments.
I liked the fox also, but alas my photoshopping skills (and lack of patience) don't allow me to lose the grass in front of its nose.

I like the frog shot. Was it indoors or outside? If indoors how did you keep your lens so clear?

Thanks - Yes, it was outdoors (ISO 400, 1/250th @ F9) using 50D + 100 - 400 @ 400mm hand held.

I surprised myself at it's clarity (Raw image is even better), but then I had removed the uV filter.
