Black wildebeest (white-tailed gnu) family at Marwell Wildlife, 8 August 20

There was construction fences along half of the paddock recently, which seems to show that marking out a boundary is underway. I remain faithful that this fence will be built soon, and I expect it hasn't come about sooner due to the birth of the calf.

EDIT: If you mean the African Valley, that would mean mixing them with many different animals which Marwell may not want to risk with their nature, and from an aesthetic point it's designed for East African wildlife, while black wildebeest are only found further south. Blue Wildebeest would be much more suitable welfare and theming wise, and may go in there one day as the valley matures.

That's good to hear- a year is a long time to keep them in that hardstanding. But why don't they try and mix them with the Chapman's zebra? Wasn't that the idea? I believe Newquay have with theirs, haven't they?
