In July the PR people said they were the smallest kangaroo in the U.K.

Parma Wallabies are smaller. I wonder if they ever check anything before releasing it to the world
 
Not sure if this has been mentioned but the Philippine Spotted Deer enclosure is split again. The deer are in the former warty pig side and there is signage for lowland anoa in the original deer side but I haven't seen them in there.

It has been mentioned before.
 
Earlier in the summer the two young females where there but recently moved to the old Malayan side of the buffalo house. I believe as of now nothing is there.
Thats strange because the time before last I visited the anoa were in the cattle house but the deer had full access to the enclosure.
 
Updates to the map!

Red river hog and jewel wasps have been added due to SLOTZ.

Now for the exciting bit! The 'under development' sections have had some changes. The penguin enclosure, outdoor giant otter enclosure, sunken garden and former ark play area now all say 'opening early 2018' while the former tiger enclosure and europe on the edge still say 'under development' so I guess they will be coming late 2018/early 2019. The islands map has been altered as there is now a no through route for the entrance near the sitatunga paddock and Islands can now only be entered through the other side. Everything past the cassowary is blocked off for construction for the pademelon and tree kangaroo enclosure but more excitingly all of 'Panay' which hopefully means construction for enclosures for the spotted deer and mouse deer!! We might be able to get some cheeky peeks from the boat ride ;) I have linked some imgur files so you can see how the map has changed.

It's probably just to stop people walking into a dead end unfortunately
I don't understand that. Even with the construction of the marsupial enclosure it had been open so it wouldn't make any other sense to close it. Plus the map has changed which wouldn't usually happen unless it is long term.
