Great set of photos you've got there - where abouts in the country is it? If it's not too far I might have to take a trip sometime...

yeah, the dogs are still there, its interesting to see how different some of the breeds were, the daschund its about 4times the size of what they are now, i wanted to go purely to see the tazmanian tiger as you wont be seeing these alive anytime soon

it was a shark exhibition on this time, but we'll keep an eye out for future events

Love the pics. I'm going there as soon as I get chance. Being a biologist that place looks right up my street. Just like the natural history museum in dublin.

Ah, i love Tings Zoological Museum. Not been in years but it's not changed. Really interesting. The animals they have there are awesome. Highly recommended to go and see!
