Found out poor Benji was ill a couple of weeks ago so they are waiting for a clean stool sample before they can let the orangs out into their new enclosure. It’s been weeks since I’ve seen them out!

I saw the orangutans outside about 2-3 weeks ago. Not sure if that's the time span you meant since you've seen them.

I’ve seen them in their original outdoor enclosures for the last 2/3 weeks but not in the big new one for about the same time span. I was told they’re waiting until Benji gets a clean stool sample and then they’ll let them use it again. Too risky incase they all caught the bug in the shared areas I guess.

The baby binturong is a boy and has been named ‘Niffler’.

Dudley Zoo unveils statue of endangered orangutan

"Luke's artwork, which features a mum orangutan separated from her baby, will certainly get visitors stopping in their tracks and we hope, then taking action in the fight against the extinction of the magnificent great ape."
