Any idea on what species? Struggling to think what fits into their geographic plans.
I suspect it is far too distant a prospect for anything of that sort to be fixed.
There's nowhere else for them to go, other than off-show or to another collection. The birds currently in that now-unnamed aviary are intended to be permanent residents.
And your source for that information is....?
The moderators have decided to revert the deletion of comments posted some days ago regarding the night break-in. The reason for removing them was that the incident had not been reported in the general media, and we did not want to "promote" the perpetrators by linking to their video or discussing their actions. Since a major media outlet is now reporting it (and the zoo is commenting), we feel the discussion is now appropriate.
However, the link to the video will NOT be reinstated, as we still do not want to "reward" the hoodlums with additional views on Youtube.

Quite right it should be as well.But I suspect that the zoo had more than a little to do with its removal from YouTube!!
Is the perimeter fencing still that installed in the early-80s? Ex Humber Bridge if I recall correctly?
On a slightly lighter note, the zoo have just announced on social media a new lowland anoa calf named Niko

It appears the tresspassers may be banned from entering the zoo. Two new articles released including BBC.

It's down again. I've reported it to youtube several times this evening, with the links to the news coverage
Would love to see G-Panda's at Chester but don't think it will happen but will not say never.
Just been reading about the new species of Orangutan don't think we will be seeing them in collections for a long time either.
Do any of you think Chester will have a species of Wolf before to long?

I don’r Expect it but I would love to see a species of Wolf at Chester. Both current dog species have been very good value for money. In my visits to Chester the Painted Dogs and Bush Dogs have been very active. Even if the Wolves turned out to be more elusive I think it would bring something that many people would like to see. Depending on the sub-species Wolves could be placed in a UK/ European section.
I wouldn’t think that any Zoo will ever get any of the new identified species of Orang. My objection to Pandas is only based on cost. As an animal I would love to see them at Chester.
