Paignton Zoo
The Paignton Zoo is divided up into six zones, `Primley´, savannah, forest, wetland, tropical forest and desert. All of these represent world habitats, except for Primley, which is an area in the Zoo where animals from a mixture of habitats live. Visitors to Paignton Zoo usually come to see the animals. After all, it is a zoo. What they actually see as they walk around is a natural landscape and animals within it. What they don´t generally notice is that this is a created landscape and the plants are carefully selected to mimic the natural habitat types of the animals. Plants are fundamental to this atmosphere and this is one of the reasons that Paignton Zoo is not just a zoological garden but also a botanical garden.
