According to facebook they've received (what looks like a pair of) Tamiops squirrels. I've never actually heard of these but they're mighty cute!

According to ISIS, the RSCC (Sandwich) and Newquay have also obtained this species. Seems as if it has suddenly become available from somewhere - private breeders, maybe?

Shaldon has developed a closer link with Newquay Zoo.

Which species?, there are four species of Tamiops Squirrels. They are only found in Asia.

Shaldon has developed a closer link with Newquay Zoo.

That is becouse the former owner of Shaldon (who bought shaldon back in the 70s and built it up to its present state) is now director of Newquay-Shaldon was turned in to a trust some years ago. there is a close links between RSCC and Shaldon/Newquay aswell.

Shaldon Zoological Gardens

From my extensive postcard collection, I have found this view of The Ness at Shaldon before the Zoo was there. Photo shows sheep in a field and the large house.

That is not where the zoo is. It is about a hundred yards up the road. The ness house hotel in this picture is still there today
