Hi everyone! I was watching the old movie “zoo” recently which takes place at zoo Miami. In one scene there are three African Elephant’s doing a performance who were referred to as, Moju, Mc Lane, and Mary.

Hello Zoochatters! My partner (of Greek origin) and I, and our Greek friend, just visited the island of Crete for the first time, spending five nights in Heraklion, with day trips to other parts of the island. Not much has been written about on this site about this island and its zoological and palaeontological treasures, so I thought I’d fix that with a bit of a review. The first attraction we visited was just to the east of our base city, CRETAquarium Thalassokosmos, a few... Mo's adventures in Crete ..read more
