Try catch a binturong talk (if there's one on). The keepers have been working hard on training them and it's the best view you'll get of them.
Twilight Zone, Crocodile Creche, baby Mara (near the tapir) and at least 8 baby prairie dogs.
Also new exhibit Human Nature; the place where the human race clash with the natural world, there are 8 species on display that have either suffered badly from human interaction or have adapted and greatly benefitted from it. Each enclosure in this immersive building is themed to tell their stories. Hopefully you'll find it entertaining and thought provoking.

What are the eight species, please? Black Rats and….Try catch a binturong talk (if there's one on). The keepers have been working hard on training them and it's the best view you'll get of them.

Not black rats….brown. But exhibited in a completely unique way that I’m betting no other zoo has ever done!
Great hours visit to Beale today! The site is much bigger than I'd anticipated and clearly has huge potential. Some of the bird aviaries and mammal enclosures are very nice - I especially liked the rhea exhibit.
I've always had a soft spot for chacoan mara, so was very happy to see the youngster suckling from mum inside. Some great mixed species exhibits that I've not encountered before too.
I did find myself hunting for signage at times and was occasionally left unsure as to whether an exhibit actually held animals (or not), but that didn't take away too much from the experience.
By no means a full day zoo, but certainly worth a visit! Will also post some photos in the gallery shortly.

That’s a big question. We’ve got several aviaries, but do mean the ones with single species (burrowing owls, kooks, snowys etc) or just mixed?
There are 3 mixed aviaries:
1:sun conures, Patagonian conures, glossy starlings, white shouldered starlings and rufous vented laughingthrushes (only ones in EU), and azaras agoutis
2: scarlet ibis, crimson bellied conures, yellow shouldered amazons, Palawan peacock pheasants, purple swamphens, Guinea fowl, common quail, collared hill partridge, Javan sparrows
3: Stanley crane, little egret, ringed teal, red breasted geese, masked plover
I think that’s everything

What deer species do you hold these days- is it just Sika or are there others, like the Axis/Chital that used to be there at one time? Thanks.
I think it's just now Sika and Reindeer
I assume by EU you mean Europe ?
Hahaha….keep forgetting!I assume by EU you mean Europe ?
As far as ZIMS is concerned, they’re the only captive ones globally. But then not everyone uses ZIMS I suppose

Lovely species! Do you have any photos of the aviary’s? I don't know which ones they are on the gallery.

Do you keep breeding groups of the sun conures and Patagonian conures together?
