Two new arrivals
Ooo - this is good news!

Any idea where they came from?
 
Not yet!
Just realised that it looks as though I've done some time travelling. I took the photo today 5 October.
 
So this is what this old Barbary Sheep area was being prepared for then... certainly a novel species for Paignton to embark on.
 
Is the paddock behind part of the exhibit too, i hope so.
As i have said on here before, good to see another collection taking on a lesser known, unglamorous species.
 
Yes, although the gate is shut in the photo. The former residents used to use both areas and, as Pertinax mentions, the whole enclosure has just been re-fenced for the Takin.
 
Maybe going to the zoo tomorrow. Will look forward to seeing a new species at the zoo.
 
I remember a member of staff a while back saying that the Hamadryas Baboon enclosure will become a Himalayan exhibit so this old goat enclosure is probably just temporary until then?
