If i heard the vet right on the TV, he just said they'll leave the contraceptive in for a year, so perhaps they'll attempt breeding then?

I feel that the two failed attempts for breeding so fa, have put doubt in the studbook keepers view (which chester are the keepers for). Also if i remember it right it was mentioned that the studbook keeper had told them not to attmept breeding again, for the time being.
The outdoor enclosure Sofia was in, was that an offshow enclosure, looked very bare to me.
The moat round the ants, was mentioned to be part of a larger pond in the house, and was shown to contain fish, i take it they blocked this part of the pond off, before adding washing up liquid.
Not sure about the south American enclosure mix
, tapir, capybara and vicuna, surely the vicuna should not be in there, or all said the tapir and capybara perhaps should be removed as they are from different habitats and different areas of the continent.

Nope its on-show area, only viewable from a ten metre strip to the left of the house.
They only showed the backend of the enclosure, the public end is a bit more planted up.
However this area is supposed to represent a savannah grassland.

the enclosure Sofia was in, was the savannah outdoor section (on-show as well). The grass is usually longer and thicker than that though...
If you look carefully, you could see a barrier around the base of the trunk for the ants, so the fish are seperated.

actually i like the mix
Why catman?
Demand Five | watch Zoo Days, Series 3 - episode 6, Episode 6
Zoo Mania, it's there if you still want to watch it
not sure for some reson i dont no
i like seeing them run around together?
to make it more natural they could:
put tapir and capy in current enclosure
put the gunacos and vicuna in rheas enclosure
then there (in my eyes)
are 3 options for the rheas:
-In with the bears (what do people think?)
-inn withh the tapir
-leave?

yes, it was quite funny seeing the warthog every now and again.
