how often do there manatee's breed?

 

[Standpitpony]

Not till next year???

 

[Cat-Man]

any news on giant panda rumours?

 

[Standpitpony]

Not actually sure

 

[Cat-Man]

okay, hopefully they do get them, the zoo seems one of the best in europe and from the pictures i can't really see any bad exhibits from the pics, tho the chinese exhibit seems a bit bland. hopefully i'll visit in the near future

Could all that expense and Chinese theming of the 'Central Installation' be for anything other than Giant Pandas? I can't imagine so somehow. Also they are being deliberately coy about what is going in there too.

 

[Cat-Man]

yes, i agree, why would you spend a whole load of money on a CHINESE themed exhibit, only not to include Giant Panda, When you could theme it as a Himilayan Exhibit which would be able to include all the animals currently there, and just be able to curve away from Giant Panda. Seems as if zoochatters are the only ones thinking about it

A second white rhino birth for the zoo, this one is a male.

 

[Cat-Man]

^good news!

 

[Pertinax]

Is there any further news about the 'Chinese enclosure' that seems to have been built for Giant Pandas?

 

[kiang]

no news on pandas, but there has been a recent birth to the manatees.

The male 'Asato' is the famous Jersey Gorilla 'Jambo's last offspring. He has been very successful as a breeder at Beauval. They have also had a good run of female babies born there, which evens up the balance to those places where a lot of males are born.

2 Mishmi takin have been born at the zoo, weeks apart, these are the first takin of any species born in France.

Does anyone know when the two elephants are expected to give birth this year?

Beauval built a big 'Chinese' complex of which the centrepiece was an obvious Giant Panda enclosure, which stayed empty till they arrived a few months ago. Don't know if their arrival received as much publicity(in France) as Edinburgh's did over here.
