Nice to see how much he/she has grown. Maybe they should all it 'heshe' as they are notoriously difficult to sex, though not doubt it will get an African name..
I hope this is the first of more litters and that some will find their way into other UK zoos in the future.
Yes, not surprisingly, the cub has grown a lot since I last saw it in July; “Bwassa” and I were informed by a member of staff that the youngster is a male.
How quickly they go from very cute to very sinister looking! How long do they stay with their parents or will they keep them as a small pack until another is sourced in the future?
I'd actually prefer that to seeing it sent off elsewhere to make up another pair. But eventually it would be nice to see a couple more UK zoos exhibiting them.
Given they live in family 'clans' in the wild, that's a good idea, better than being sent off elsewhere to make up another pair. But eventually if they breed a surplus it would be nice to see a couple more UK zoos exhibiting them.
