googled 
The genus name comes from the Mozambican Bantu name, kigeli-keia, while the common names sausage tree and cucumber tree refer to the long, sausage-like fruit. Its name in Afrikaans worsboom also means sausage tree, and its Arabic name means "the father of kit-bags".

If people can travel on tubes I can't understand not being able to open zoos. surely social distancing would be easy to manage in a large area like that.

agree dammeee - apparently they have gel stations ,social distancing in place etc -seems ridiculous especially as it is in the open air as well and as you know its huge and you can be socially distanced easily
I like goats

I agree Ros, but anything Clowing St as done it's been either late or back to front....If he's trying to open pubs in 2 weeks, he should bloody well open zoos first.

tbh been to the zoo in the height of summer when its really busy and you can still have quiet areas and have never been crowded in -just keep the indoor areas shut
