      Yes. It's a bit small but they have some interesting animals, many birds and a few really cool big cats. Posted 13 years ago

The Blacksmith Lapwing

The Blacksmith Lapwing or Blacksmith Plover occurs commonly from Kenya through central Tanzania to southern and southwestern Africa. The vernacular name derives from the repeated metallic 'tink, tink, tink' alarm call, which suggests a blacksmith's hammer striking an anvil.
