The zoo was built within the ruins of a Victorian Fort that used to protect the Sandown Coast and the owners used to walk the tigers on the beach making for quite a spectacle with locals and visitors alike. The primary goals of the zoo are to promote care of the animals, conservation of protected and endangered animals and education through tour guides giving presentations to guests, school children and visiting classrooms. www.vectisrugby.co.uk www.sportip.biz 51
