At a guess, Giant Day Gecko (Phelsuma madagascariensis grandis) - I'm sure Al will confirm!
 
At least both are home now, working hard as the telegraph says!:D
Can't wait to see the Gecko. I take it the reptile house will open again with the geckos arrival?
 
Yes a pair of giant day gecko which will be mixed in one of our exhibits! The reptile house was opened for easter but still has a few finishing touches to be made!
 
Good news about Lily, the Barbary lioness, that went last year to Hodonin zoo /Czech rep. After she met her new partner Simon, they moved to Olomouc where she became a good mother of two cubs (they are 2 weeks old now).
 
YAY!!!

Awww that is fantastic. It was fun magic watching her grow up from a little cub to an adult. Now she has her own cubs to look after:D
Made my day!!
 
So any more news from the zoo?
Hoping to get up there soon, early in the morning on my own for a walk about! It's better that way.
 
Any hopes of a baby sifaka anywhere soon? Her last offspring was 2008, so hopefully she'll be pregnant again, or soon...

1 more female would make such a difference to this species outlook...
 
A youngster was born spring last year - i think it might have been a male. However, it was rejected and subsequently hand-reared but unfortunately did not survive...
