Chester Zoo Baby news

More than one horse foal would have been nice.

Just to clear up any confusion the 0.3 Red River Hogs I mentioned are adults.

So that means there are currently seven? Do you know if the 0.3 adult females were all born at Chester?

Unless they think that, as grandparents, all that is behind them......

I don't think they are particularly old or past breeding. I read on this Forum somewhere that the female is an 'erratic' mother.

They were, currently there are 1.3.3 and when I saw them the babies were trying to suckle from all the females.

The Strachan programme would be that babies programme wouldn't it?

No, apparently it's not the babies one, but a new zoo series of some sorts. A bit of googling makes me wonder if its 'zoo families' a kids day time show on five?!

Barbarusa will be going in the new enclosure (RORA) before end of June, and Otters will move in before them.

Thanks for posting this, it's new news (to me anyway )

GillP, thanks!

Also forgot to mention. They filmed a special Zoo Days Tejas update show before Christmas, but is yet to be aired. Zoo Days is no longer being filmed, but Michaela Strachan was at the zoo for 5 weeks recently recording a new programme.

We were waiting for this all xmas - scanning the TV listings, taping all the repeats just in case it was in with them! Is this ever to be aired do you know? Wierd they filmed it and it was never shown!!

Looks like that could be a really good show. Im really surprised Chester don't do there own TV series or video podcast
