I hope they stay.
If you mean this year it is too early for Chilean chicks.
Are you sure - I'll check my photos when I get home but I'm sure I saw a chick in the Chilean side on Sunday?
There are certainly eggs if I imagined the chicks though
I'm not sure, but I don't remember any chicks. It's possible there was one on Sunday, I went on Saturday.

Dammit - wishful thinking, but at least the 2011 breeding figures that Bongorob posted shows that they weren't terrified by the roaring dinosaur exhibit so much that they didn't breed

Chileans did not breed last year, they have eggs at the moment but no chicks.

Yes I know but their neighbours did, that's what I was alluding to. Will be clearer in future
Last year the Caribbean's eggs were removed just prior to the arrival of the dinosaurs.Yes I know but their neighbours did, that's what I was alluding to. Will be clearer in future
Not sure if this has already been mentioned, but Facebook has announced the arrival of four ploughshare tortoises, part of a shipment of thirteen discovered in Hong Kong, now due to form a European Breeding Programme with Jersey and Rotterdam recieving the others.
Exciting news from a zoo nerd's angle, an interesting proposition from a conservation one and above all very good news for the individual animals concerned. Good news all round.
Been banking on this for some time now. Expect more exciting reptilian arrivals in Europe shortly. This is one to remember. Kudos to several very committed zoo staff in these collections.!!!
No mentioning of his name...
I only come back to thank all those who encouraged me by their comments to continue my search: It is now a fact, that Chester Zoo never intended to take Kevin. It has reached the newspapers, but of course that doesn' help him.
Who ever is interested may see his picture in the gallery.

This isn't news, but I just thought I'd say I visited Chester Zoo for the first time this week and was very impressed. We only had a few hours so there must be loads I didn't see but I am now very jealous of those of you with the fortune to have it as your local zoo!

Does anyone know when the bull elephant from Seville will be arriving? And are any of the cows pregnant at the moment?

There is currently no date for the arrival of the new bull from Spain.
Yes 2 of the cows are currently pregnant - roughly due in December & January 2013 from the info at the last members talk.
From Facebook it appears one of the young otters had an encounter with a babirusa that resulted in fatal injuries.
