Thank you for this Bongorob.
I was hoping they'd reveal the sex of the Sumatran Tiger cub that was born last June to Kirana and Fabi. I didn't think they would anyway

According to the report itself they lost one of the chicks hatched this year and three adults including the breeding male to an 'unknown illness'.

They have - look in the DNS30 column, there is a listing for a female cub. As this survey is accurate only up to the end of December 2011, and the more recent death was in January 2012 and was a cub which had survived past 30 days, this listing must be for the June cub.

Although unsuccessful, is this the first occasion the Tuataras have reproduced?
Were all those seba's bats euthanized?

? They list 0.1.1 so they have not revealed the sex of one of the cubs.
I believe it is.
At the end of the year they list 1.4.0 - this means the end of year count includes all three of the newer batch of cubs. Therefore the 0.1.1 would imply that there was another cub born which was never reported, and the sex of which never determined.
The unfortunate thing I observed is that every single one of their Mallorcan midwife toads has died in the past year - which means I've been completely wasting my time trying to spot them in their enclosure this year!

Sorry, I don't follow Chester Zoo's news particularly closely and had no idea there were two litters. I read Jordan’s post about an unsexed cub and thought he was asking about that animal.
TeaLovingDave is right, the first litter was two cubs. One female and one unsexed. They both died before the age of 30 days. Only one cub was reported for the first breeding because the other (unsexed cub) died at a very early age.
The second litter was 0.3, one died early in 2012, the other two are still in the zoo.

Thanks Rob - I don't get a copy of the annual report with my membership for some reason so will be chasing it up when I get the time to phone/email.
This info is everything I wanted from it anyway

Is the annual report for all members or life members?
Indeed, unless one opts out, which can be reversed by calling the Members and Adoptions Office. There will be a copy on-line soon.
It's a handsome-looking publication this year, and was a lot of work for those directly responsible. They should be congratulated for their efforts.
I seem to remember filling in a form a couple of years ago to say that I still wanted to receive a printed copy of the report. I suspect they recorded this on their membership database and only post them out to those who did so (should be easy enough to change your preference though).

Which suggests those who have become members since don't get the option, as I certainly never filled in such a form when I became a member last year.
Agreed, this is the second year of my membership and at no point has such a form been mentioned to me as far as my recollection goes.
