This year the zoo will open new enclosures for chimpanzees and bush dogs.
Colchester Zoo Colchester Zoo news 2017

- Start date
Not news! Another one at it!! See the London thread....
Ok, I'll post a couple of things I observed today, but I'll have to check they weren't posted on last year's first!
Can't see these elsewhere :
A new male l'hoest monkey is currently held in half of the indoor Patas monkey enclosure. The current male will be leaving.
The young Pileated Gibbon has been moved to the indoor area in 'wilds of asia' which previously held Victoria Crowned Pigeons (tamandua before that), there appears to be a link to the outdoor gibbon enclosure.
The tamarin enclosure next to the Scarlet Ibis, is now a THIRD squirrel monkey area! This along with 4 isolated areas for komodo dragons, is now beginning to be annoying!
Bush dog enclosure some way of completion, couldn't see any indoor area built. It appears it can be viewed from above on the platforms to & from the road train.

May not be news, but if the enclosures are due to open in 2017 then surely they are still relevant to the 2017 thread.
No it was just an excuse to open a new thread. The Chimp enclosure has been being built for over a year & bush dogs for some time too! That isn't news in my book & too many people are opening pointless threads without news! Your Dudley one at least had something new in it, none of the others so far have!
Correction - S lakes did too!
So far 7 new UK threads have been opened & only 2 had any 'news' from the creator of the thread!!
See my message to these people in the London 2017 thread...

Thank goodness a Chester one hasn't been made, with news on the Sun bear exhibits and Tapirs coming to Islands yet!
At least the Chester members get it! It's obviously a disease of the South!!
Hahaha does Birmingham count as south??
Well, it's further north than the 5 threads I referred to above!!
Good I'll take that as a no then!
Sorry everyone I just thought I would start a new thread since its a new year I didn't mean to annoy anyone. The baby rhino is now due anytime this month.
Yeah same for me as well with the London and Whipsnade Threads, I didn't want to annoy anyone either
Fair enough Max!
Don't worry either of you, just try not to let it happen again!

What tld is saying is practice what you are telling the rest to do!!!!!!!!!!!!!
oh ok...
All I can say is where were the likes for my post??!
Sorry banham.tiger. All you wanted to do was open a news/ discussion thread about Colchester zoo in 2017, but it appears to have quickly turned into utter drivel.
