I would hope so too.
The only real breeding of Bornean Orangutans in recent years have been at Chester, Dudley, Monkey World and Twycross. IMO I think 'Ramon' is perfectly capable of breeding if kept away from the older female 'Victoria'.

Pity Chester have the wrong Tuan,in terms of importance of the studbook then for the females from Blackpool!!!
Few notes from today:
Ema and Chanua have been moved into Tsavo, so I've finally seen the calf for the first time.
Work was being carried out on the former Gemsbok paddock, whilst Roan Antelope were also not allowed in the paddock as it was somewhat muddy.
Work is being carried out on the Cattle House - a chainlink fence is being put around the Warthog exhibit, much like that around the Giant Anteater exhibit. The warthogs are locked inside and there is a crate set up in the warthog's indoor stalls.
The Asian Small-Clawed Otters are back in their original exhibit, whilst the Babirusa piglets were in the exhibit behind the giraffe house, where the Pudu lived until recently. I didn't see adults in either.
The swap of the Porcupines and the Aardvarks looks to be working well - it's nice to see the Aardvarks closer up and more relaxed, whilst the Porcupines are still fairly visible despite that great ugly den blocking off the indoor viewing.

On my visit last Tuesday, I saw the female adult in the usual enclosure, and on my visit last Wednesday I saw the male adult in the lowland anoa enclosure.
Are they in one of the old Ruffed Lemur cages/islands, or have the Gentle Lemurs gone off show?
In one of the old ruffed lemur houses, the northernmost one. We saw a gentle lemur in the gentle lemur enclosure

Black Rhinos.
It's great to see Chester's Rhinos breeding again after a short break. 'Ema' is the third oldest breeding female at Chester so when she arrived in 2005 (?) and gave birth four years later it was great too hear.
Did 'Ema' and 'Chanua' have access to both sides of Tsavo 1? Or was another Rhino next door?

Ema and Chanua were on one side. I couldn't see the Rhino on the other side, as the back section was opened out as well.
Good grief! If the former gemsbok and sitatunga paddocks are empty they could replace or even remove the zoo's ugliest fence which separates them

Just a quick note, not a deer but an antelope!
(Thought I'd get in there before anyone else did, this is a Chester thread after all...

I wonder which fence will become the new ugliest fence
Bush Dogs surely?
