Red panda exhibit 120821

Former coati enclosure?

@dillotest0 yes, that’s it, with revamping

It's a bit of a pity the coatis are not around anymore - iirc, Marwell had one of the best groups of the species in the country; most zoos only keep a small number of individuals..
though seeing recent law in the UK that made breeding of coati illegal, it is probably that Marwell's group would have died off later on.

nevermind..
I was under the impression that Marwell had more coati - apparently their group was fairly small as well..!

@dillotest0 - I see that Hamerton have got White-nosed coatis mow

so does one think anything will become of the older Red Panda enclosure?
Or...

@dillotest0 not sure tbh

I do also hope that the older Tropical World won't be abandoned -
The building is indeed very outdated compared to the more recent incarnation - though I do hope that the building may be used for something in future...
