He was born to cancer-stricken mother, Fiona who have been battling a tumour in her mouth. He's still unnamed.
 
Did you see any sign of the new female Blackbuck(s) anywhere- I appreciate 'Asia' was probably still closed but presumably they are still being quarantined somewhere else in the park.

Frustratingly, I saw no signs of the new female blackbuck and, yes, "Passage Through Asia" is still closed.

The eventual plan will be to mix the blackbuck with the nilgai.

Tim, I was also up at the zoo yesterday-a shame our pathes didnt cross!:(

With regards Passage thru Asia, management is in the "early" stages of developing it's future role. Nothing will be done with it until the Cloisters project is complete, so another 2/3 years "as is."
