Still with the older pride members or were they seperated this time? So that could be up to nine(?) Lions for the new enclosure or possibly even 10, if they reintroduced the handraised survivor. Surprised they let them breed again though, but perhaps the soon-to-be enormous new enclosure is the reason.

I’ve no idea, really surprised after what happened earlier this yr that they would let her have Cubs so soon, hoping they learnt from last time I have only seen pictures that people have taken x
 
Does anyone know the situation with the Black Rhinos at the zoo? Are they still planning on breeding, or have they stopped?

also are they planning on only keeping bachelor male white rhinos? they currently have Zuko from Dublin and Kifaru from Colchester. Do they plan on bringing in more?

thanks :)

Do you know when the Lion Enclosure will be finished? Presumably the main group in the pinewood enclosure will be the ones to use it?

It's apparently coming to completion soon? But I saw workers on both days, so couldn't give a proper timeframe. I have a video of its progress, but it's too large to add the file here. Feel free to drop me a private message, and I'd be happy to email it over.

I was there today and a ranger said they are planning on building some more lion lodges for the new enclosure, but they didn’t know if the Lions would be moving in before or after the lodges are built. They said if they move in after the lodges are built, then they would probably move into the new enclosure next year
 
I went to the zoo for the first time today, so if u have any questions, fire away! I did notice a baby drill, and very pregnant female drill, and a keeper said there was some sort of baby lemur too! I have to say, I enjoyed the fact that it wasn’t very busy surprisingly! The lions were very active in the morning, and I also managed to see two of Lily’s cubs! I also saw the new African Lion enclosure, which is still being worked on, and it is massive, here is a picture I got:

This enclosure must now be finished as according to their FB pages, the rescued pair of Lions from Borth, Zulu and Wilma, have been moved into it. It seems this is only temporary until the main group of nine (Milo/Lily- or Adras and Oudrika if you will, why did they change their names?) + their two sets of cubs, old and young) are moved in here instead. Perhaps this is being delayed until the new cubs are a little bigger, or because the visitor lodges aren't ready yet maybe....

It seems by my reckoning that Aspinall Parks currently have 11 Lions at PL, and 3(?) at Howletts, these last being old females Saffiya and Layla, and the young handraised male cub that survived from the failed 'winter' litter at PL. While PL have the group of 9, and seperately the pair from Borth.
 
Does anyone one know the realation the two belfast lionesses ( Fidda and Theibba ) have to the port lympe lions ? And are the 2 at howletts related?

Ahhh ok, when I found out they came from portlympe I was confused because their family tree before milo and adras is a bit confusing

Milo/adras (same male two names)
He was a littler of 3 him his brother moonlight (now chalid in a zoo in Germany) his sister Savannah ( at zoo parc de Paris)
Thn had aswad and buni who went to zoo parc de Paris aswell)
The 2 Belfast sisters
And the disabled lioness who died a few years back samira
His mum was born at Pl to dad kabir and her mum jade n can’t remember the other sisters name
Layla and jabir were also saffiya siblings
 
seams to be a bit strange that p.l is getting to male tigers cubs ex colchester. are they going to breed from them or are they just for show does anyone know
