Chester Zoo Chester Zoo Black Rhinos.

Also ,they haven't had a 'trio' of Black Rhino before with two females which grew up together like these two have.... I guess they had a good reason to shift him...

Spoke to a contact of mine at the zoo she should be in the zoo before the end of march as that will get her to the zoo before the midges start biting and blue-tongue is back.

I assume you are both talking about the new female black rhino to come in from Dvur Kralove (as noted late last year)? Is the identity of the female and her prospective partner already known (Magadi?)?

Sorry this is news to me! So chester soon could have nine black rhino's again :eek:
 
I would of said the off show area out into the car park, but sammy moved out there

So there is only really the old rhino house unles they plan to move any of the others to another collection (which i dont they would)

Where will the new female be placed

I'd imagine in the small house behind cafe tsavo. There are only two pens inside the old house (which I think are both occupied), three pens inside Tsavo 2 (which definately are full) and no space in Tsavo 1
 
Im still quite confused as to where all the rhinos are housed.

Tsavo 1 - Manyara, Kitani
Tsavo 2 - Rosie, Quinto, Sammy
Where are the others housed.
 
Magadi is in the old house if I remember correctly, and the small house is currently empty I think... so that means there is one pen in the old house and one/two in the small house available...
 
Oh, I had forgotten about Ema! On the first series of Zoo Days she appeared to be in the small house and they allowed Magadi access to her paddock, if i recall correctly. I'm not sure whether she is still there or has been moved into the old house now...

Coincidentally, ISIS also only lists 3.3 at Chester, when it should be 3.4 (soon to be 3.5)
