Want to go to the Zoo? Get Online!

The BBC has just opened Wildlife Finder, the world’s largest zoo online. On this site you can see over 370 animals doing their “thing” right out in their own habitat, rather than the cramped, faux settings of a regular zoo. Visitors to this online zoo can search through their favorite animals, habitats and ecosystems, and see what others are checking out as well.
“It has always been my hope that, through film-making, I can bring the wonder of the natural world into people’s sitting rooms,” Sir David Attenborough said. “Now the web has totally changed how we can link information, connect people and reach new audiences in a world which likes to have things on demand.”
So, if a trip to the zoo ever seems out of the question, don’t worry; you can just pop online and check out the Wildlife Finder zoo!

Gotta love Attenborough and since London Zoo now costs £18.50 going to an online version is not a bad option!
