It is good that more of the non-breeding F1 generation are bandied about the EAZA region. I am rather confident it will quite dramatically improve breeding.
Certinley seems to be having the desired effect... Munster have announced today that Jane, the cow that Blair Drummond exchanged with them in 2011 is now thought be expecting her first calf
Unconfirmed reports that Blair Drummonds first calf (Mazumba, born August 2007) has also become pregnant since her transfer to Beekse Bergen in 2010
Not news, just a question and an opinion, in true zoochatter style, what will happen to the old elephant house, once the new one is constructed?
In my opinion, it would make an ideal sized hippo house, with access to the boating area of the lake not too far away.
Another collection with hippos in the UK would always be very welcome.

I would think they may hold Hippos or maybe some surplus Congo or Cape Buffalo. I would hope that they may hold some Cape Buffalo from West Mid's.

I'm sure Blair Drummond had Common Hippos back in the 1970s/80s. Don't know how they housed them during winter.
Glad so, the park is going from strength to strength.
Nice to see the major part of safari park land in the UK landscape changing for the better this way.
Cannot wait to hear what is next in store ...
Any idea where from? Woburn or Colchester perhaps? Presumably not from Edinburgh if theirs went into Private ownership?

From what you have said they have gone into the enclosure that was built to house,Edinburghs old Collared Peccary when they took them on when Edinburgh went out of that species.
I can confirm that to be the case from a recent visit.
Giraffes, Keisha and Harriet arrive safely from Twycross

)
New arrivals for the season include a common marmoset born as well as an eland.
Spectacled Owl a Red Legged Seriema and a young Bengal Eagle Owl have joined the bird of prey show.
A herb garden has been created for the residents of chimp island and later this year, work should begin on a new tiger house.

Reviving an old thread: any idea when female Zoe left / died at Blair Drummond. Must have been late 2010 / early 2011 (if only 0.4 were held at the time)?
Afaik - as of July 2008 they'd got themselves down to 1.1 (Baringo female, Aoife and her hybrid calf, Wallace from 2005)
From memory there was no mention of a Zoe when the news page was updated with Samara's arrival from Chester (news page has now been deleted so I can't double check this)
