Copy Violation Found
As of January 17, 2006, the text of the second and third paragraphs of this article is a word-for-word copy of text here:, so there is a copy violation afoot; one can't be absolutely sure of who is copying from whom, but given the recent date of the Wikipedia version, I sadly suspect it is us copying from them. Best to recast and augment.

Just a petting zoo?
The introduction makes it sound like the zoo is strictly a petting zoo, but later down it mentions that it contains "Red Pandas, Meerkats, Emerald Tree Boas, Capybaras, Cottontop Tamarins" and so forth. I'm guessing these animals are not part of the petting zoo? 24.192.17.34 05:57, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

Good point; will try to work it in. My understanding is that is that the preferred name is now "conservation center" Gosgood 12:14, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Addressed. The lead paragraph now refers to the facility as a 'conservation center'. Gosgood 19:54, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
