Hi all, went today and had an amazing visit. For once, all the carnivores were active.
Some notes from my last few visits:
- Lemur walk through still closed
- Think Red and Yana the tigers may be back together as 2x tiger in the main drive through, then two in two separate drive pasts
- Crowned cranes are back in the vulture aviary on the safari drive with the secretary birds moving back to their old enclosure on foot near the longhouse
- Brush-tailed bettong are now at koala creek
- Only 1 mara left, living in the right hand side anteater enclosure with the adult anteater back together on the left
- Hamish the short clawed otter has passed away so the remaining female has been mixed back with the Binturong
- Second binturong indoor enclosure still under maintenance
- Red panda male Koda has moved from the boat enclosure to be paired up with Maya in Monkey Temple, Koda's brother Lionel still at boat enclosure may be with a new female not 100% sure
- There's only 1 Tree porcupine as the female sadly died last year (not sure when)
- As reported previously the six banded armadillo have moved to Jimmy's Farm
- The former right hand side armadillo enclosure is now an aviary, not sure what will be moving here Kinkajou maybe? Prehensile tailed porcupine perhaps?
- Old Butterfly/Mammal House is missing half it's roof not sure if that was storm damage or not as it was getting redeveloped anyway with a keeper telling me the prehensile tailed porcupines won't be going back there
- 1x Hyrax back living with the Fennec Fox. If you watched Animal Park, it's the uncle of the babies
- Only 10 wallabies at Family Farmyard left, apparently many were elderly so have died. There were around 20 18months ago...
- Also I haven't seen the great white pelicans in around a year or so (they were the far end of the lake) and they aren't in the guide book. Maybe they have been moved on?
- Koala joey is looking well and growing fast!
