Blackpool Zoo Blackpool Zoo News 2023

So glad to hear this news. I was gutted when Romon left as he was such an iconic animal but I'm so glad that there is finally a baby orangutan at Blackpool. Hopefully there will be more to follow in the future. I now hope that they will have a baby elephant but only time will tell.

At least Ramon has been successful at Munster, I also found out none of the elephants are pregnant right now but could they be throwing me off the scent?!…
 
Looking forward to going to Blackpool at some point with all the babies and new enclosures etc
 
From the BBC news website......

"A pelican has gone missing from a zoo after taking to the air when it was scared by a flock of gulls"

"It said the pelican was then "taken on a gust of wind" and keepers lost sight of it at about 16:00 BST as it headed towards South Shore"

14 weeks old
 
I visited on Friday i did think it was unusual how a pelican got on the roof as i thought they where clipped. Rhea are now in the Bongo enclosure. The Gorrilas have a new climbing frame outside but didnt see any of them make use of it and only came outside briefley for food.
 
The escaped pelican was recaptured at Hay-a-Park Gravel Pits in Knaresborough, Yorkshire, on the afternoon of Wednesday 23rd August. It is currently off-show, having had a health-check and it has also had its wings clipped. It will be quarantined before rejoining the flock.

Information comes from the Blackpool Zoo's Facebook page.

Yeah I visited in late July and he seemed to be doing great! He was exploring his enclosure which seemed new to him. Despite keeping his distance from Alyona, it seems from all accounts that the pair are getting on well. This is bittersweet for me as, as a frequent Blackpool zoo visitor I remember Zambar and the sadness surrounding his death.

I saw him in late July, playing with his mother and later sleeping. I know it's been a while now since the baby was a born, does anyone have any info on his name?

On Facebook, they did say that they were still deciding a name I think, you would probably have to check for yourself as im not dead sure
