I believe its luzon lowland scops otus megalotis not longicornis. Megalotis is the former phillipine scops before recent taxonomic splits

Thanks for the correction
Are there only 2 male black rhinos at Chester now? could only find Kifaru and Magadi. Am I right in saying thay Kifaru was Sammi's replacement after i think he went to Port Lympne. Is it fact that Asani has died? I was at the zoo the day of his birth.

They are the only adult males,cannot remember what the sex of the calfs are so 1 of them could be a male!Kifaru was brought in as another male,but not becasue of Sammy going to PL,as he could well return in the future to Chester!
Yes Asani has died at PL!

Embu (b. 2013 Magadi x Zuri) is male. The other two calves from 2012-13 are both females.

Black-headed spider monkey twins have been born.
Not twins - born to different mothers within a week of one another.
Oh, thanks.

One of the females who gave birth is Christine
Correction - the two spider monkeys were born three weeks apart, the first on March 6th and the second on March 27th. Not sure why I thought otherwise.

Baby spider monkeys
epaulette sharks in the aquarium
Revamped parrot breeding centre
Has anything else happened since the end of february?

a new British sea life tank in the aquarium.
Landscaping of some Tropical house aviaries.
Tsavo aviary getting a new roof. Probavly not finished yet.
Okay, a few things from today's visit;
The aquarium in the elephant house is currently very heavily stocked with tiger barbs and scissortail rasbora as well as the usual giant danios.
There is no sign up for the Luzon lowland scops owl yet, most people didn't seem to realize it wasn't an empty aviary.
The parrot breeding center was closed for routine maintenance
No sign of the epaulette sharks in the aquarium, however 3 tanks (long-finned characins, snowflake foral & flag tailed grouper, and the end tank that last year held lake Zacapu salamander) were completely empty.
There was a small flock of what looked like ruddy shelduck in the off display area behind the wetland bird aviary/waterbird nursery.

That's quite understandable considering two very experienced zoochatters went recently and still managed to miss it even after I told them it was in there.
