		The thickly wooded zoo is so well preserved that it is difficult to tell where each enclosure ends and the shrubbery begins.
		The best way to see the zoo would be to stroll through the road, armed with the zoo map which tells you where each enclosure is. You can take the Panorail or tram if you are in an awful hurry or if you are keen on seeing the zoo in a jiffy.
