Are you going to stand for election?

He did, I hope one day he will be elected, I always vote for him!! The only way the zoos will improve will be to elect zoo enthusiasts to Council.......
So do I!
I understand that the car park is being used by the Metropolitan Police, not sure why
I'm surprised. It's in Regent's Park
Please keep trying, one day there will be enough zoo people bothering to vote and you will be elected. A lot of the candidates barely mention the zoos in their statements!
Many years ago, some candidates had asterisks by their names, as ZSL felt they were the best candidates. One 'special' candidate didn't mention zoos, animals or conservation. Why did that person stand for election?
That's good to know! Thanks.
I hope maybe some have seen my 'could do better' review too! Overall it isn't that the zoo is terrible, it could just be so much better even given its obvious limitations on space, listed buildings etc

Fingers crossed for long-term success this time.
Kiburi in Gorilla Kingdom. Next comes the introductions to the group
Kiburi the gorilla finds new home at London Zoo

A very brief visit to the zoo today at lunch, Kiburi was in with (I think) Alika and Effie, and looking very relaxed. Both females grooming him. I'm certain he was in with Mjukuu the other day too. Hopefully all goes as planned. He's a very impressive male and already clearly a big draw for the zoo.
Amusing to hear a volunteer tell visitors he came from Tenerife Zoo rather than Loro Parque, presumably to avoid any orca/Blackfish controversy.

Sadly, the female tiger cub has died.
"Inca, one of three cubs born in June to parents Asim and Gaysha, was discovered dead in the Tiger Territory enclosure on Wednesday morning.
She had been seen playing happily with the rest of her family earlier that morning with no evidence of illness or injury.
Shortly after the tigers went into the outdoor paddock after breakfast as usual, keepers doing their standard checks saw Inca lying unmoving behind a log. They immediately called the tigers inside and made their way into the enclosure, but she had already died.
Nobody saw what happened, but the physical evidence suggests Inca was likely injured by a single swipe from another tiger. It’s not uncommon for tiger parents to give cubs a warning swipe in the course of normal parenting, but sadly this caught Inca in a delicate area of the skull, and she is thought to have died instantly."

More tragic news from Tiger Territory! The zoo really haven't had a lot of luck with their tigers over the last few years, on a par with the gorilla record. Very sad to receive the email earlier having seen the 3 healthy cubs playing together last month.
Ah this is so sad x
Sadly it wouldn’t be Christmas at ZSL without some form of tragedy happening. It seems to be a recurring theme over the last few years, particularly at London.
