£35m plan to build new zoo for Glasgow
The plan is to house some of the world's most exciting and endangered animals - monkeys, manatees, tapirs and big cats - in an environment almost identical to their natural habitat.
The artificial ecosystem will flood every day, just like the Amazon river rises and falls.
Behind the plan are bosses at the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland who want to turn the river's Cunnigar Loop, an overgrown former dump in Rutherglen, into part of the tropics.
