Most of the chimps were in their off-show cages, the outdoor enclosure was closed off and I only saw one chimp in the indoor exhibit, presumably one of the new arrivals. Chester, 24th October 2015

It would be nice if they explained why they are introducing new chimps i.e. whether it is to breed purebred West Africans, or for any other reason. I don't think they do that anywhere do they?
This notice looks a quick attempt to explain why the chimps are off-show. I don't know if things have settled down yet. Perhaps someone can find out more information on Member's Day.
There will have to be a major renewal of the chimp signage when everything does settle down: I hope that will include the reasons for the moves and the importance of the new breeding programme.
