None of our exhibits are actual live specimens - they are all animatronics imported from the USA.

Does anyone know how the construction is going at the zoo at the moment?

It's looking good in islands, the new aviary is starting to take shape.

Quietly announced on the zoo's website yesterday, the sad news that a third Baringo Giraffe calf in four months was born on Wednesday, but died at 2 days old.

How sad. But with two successful giraffe births, I guess the zoo can't complain.

I have just been scrolling through Zootierliste today and found a couple of changes had been made on the Chester list. I have found out that Chester no longer holds Blue-Headed Macaws and Red-Fronted Lemurs. Can anyone confirm this?

Yes I can confirm it they have gone.

Thanks. I have just read that the lemurs have moved to Northumbria Zoo.

It's Northumberland Zoo, I made a mistake. I'll get it corrected. There may be more animals removed from Chester now that I've started to get things organised.

No the Lemurs have moved to Northumberland Country Zoo which used to be called Eshotteugh Animal Park.!

The nature reserve at the zoo is to be extended.

That is very nice to know. I have never been to the nature reserve. Is it worth visiting?
