点评:On what was a rare, mostly sunny day, I took the family to Paignton Zoo for the first time in about a year. It has recently been taken over by a new company and there was some construction work going on, but almost all the paths and exhibits were open.
Most of the animals were visible, including the baboons, apes, giraffes and crocodiles. There were also some baby monkeys which delighted the kids. No sign of the maned wolf pups but we saw a glimpse of one of the adults.
We caught the porcupine feed, which meant we actually saw the porcupines moving around for a change! But the best addition to the zoo has got to be the sloth in the tropical house. Seeing it climbing in the trees and on the ropes just above our heads was a truly magical experience.
The lions and tigers were off show, which was a disappointment but there was a chap from the zoo who had some animal bones, which entertained the little ones for a while.
My only major complaint was the restaurant. It was very busy so it was a bit of a chaotic mess trying to order. There wasn't a lot of food to choose from, it was overpriced for what it was and there didn't seem to be any cutlery. I would advise taking your own lunch on busy days.

大部分动物都可以看到,包括狒狒、猿猴、长颈鹿和鳄鱼。还有一些小猴子,孩子们高兴极了。虽然没看到鬃狼幼崽,但我们瞥见了一只成年鬃狼。
我们正好赶上豪猪喂食,这意味着我们终于看到了豪猪在四处走动!不过,动物园里最棒的新成员当属热带馆里的树懒。看着它在树上攀爬,在我们头顶的绳索上飞来飞去,真是一次神奇的体验。
狮子和老虎没有展出,这有点令人失望,不过动物园里有一位工作人员带着一些动物骨头,孩子们玩得不亦乐乎。
我唯一不满的就是这家餐厅。当时人很多,点餐的时候有点混乱。食物种类不多,价格偏高,而且好像没有餐具。我建议人多的时候自带午餐。
