Is anybody going to Twycross zoo soon?:)

If so, can you possibly check to see if the mother and baby tapir are on show yet.Thanks.
 
Twycross misfit, do you know whether there are any plans to bring in a new sliver back?
 
that is awful, do u know how it died?
* when did u find out aswell?


i also really want them to get a new male gorilla and soon:)
 
There are 2 different reports of the tapirs death, one is that it was killed by it's mother and secondly that it had septicaemia.
As to whether a new silver back is coming I do not know at present but Joe's den has been cleaned and left as a form of shrine to him.

The baby Tapir died from septicaemia.
 
Interesting, it was mentioned the enclosure would be built so the species can be swapped around.

Is this still the case?

The sign says that the new project will allow keepers to rotate animals in between the enclosures so unless they encounter problems it would seem it's still planned.

Also, when did twycross get a new website? It looks MUCH better than the old one.
 
If anyones interested, twycross have lost one of the female giraffes. Apparently it was put down.
 
yes, its was kaya, mother to keisha. she died on the 10th feb :(
she would have turned 20 this year.

i thought she just died due to old age, not put to sleep?

No Malayan Tapir is right she was put down due to age related problems,on a happy note Twycross now have 2 male Ground Cuscus that have arrived from Blackpool Zoo.
 
Where are the Cuscus going to be kept??

Any news on a new silverback for the younger gorilla group?

Not a clue on the Gorillas but do know some of the plans for re-development at Twycross but as its becoming a secret society as far as news is concerned i`m keeping quite to protect the innocent and guilty people!!!!!!
