BOTANICS

Linton zoo is well known for its beautiful gardens.

CUSTOMS SEIZURES

The cycads and tree ferns you can see at the zoo are all customs seizures. The importation of these plants is controlled by CITES regulations. In 2000, over 300 tree ferns were imported without the appropriate paperwork they were confiscated at the docks by Customs. As it was not possible to return them to their native homeland they have been placed in the care of Zoo Federation members for visitors to enjoy.
