I remember our family going to the park when visiting Christchurch in 1978 when I was a teenager. In those days, you could drive into the lion's enclosure to watch the feeding, provided you only lowered your windows by a maximum of one inch. The car next to us's occupants didn't think that meant them, and when the ranger came along, he barked over the loud-hailer, "That's a VERY BIG INCH, Mister!!!" Also, there was one of the lions decided to climb on the roof of another car and have a snooze. I can't remember how he was gotten off.

I don't agree having animals from warm countries being homed in cold Christchurch. Its freezing during most of the year.
