West Midland Safari and Leisure Park Cape Buffalos at WMSP

[Bwassa]

Visited the park on Sat 9th, looking forward to seeing the Cape Buffalos, especially as ISIS stated they now have 5 ( 3.2). At the end of the safari drive, there were NO Capes. The 'Buffalo Boma' had 2 Przewalski's Horses in it instead .The guide book has Cape Buffalos in it, but there was no sign by the boma. Does anyone know if the Buffalos have definitely left the collection? We didn't see them anywhere else on the safari drive.

I think Sumatran rhinos are a bit too special for West Mid's.

Just like everything else at WMSP...

Seriously though, Sumatran rhino in the UK? I'm pretty sure it would've been mentioned on here!

They have never held Sumatran Rhinoceros.

They have never held Sumatran Rhinoceros.

I am well aware of this Rob, I'm not slendercat!

They aren't "rare" like the white tigers so obviously wouldn't want them...

Every time I see the title of this thread, I'm hoping for an update on their Buffalo group. Have any more calves been born?

 

[zoogiraffe]

I have not heard of any being born this year.

The are five Cape Buffalo on display, one bull and two cows, along with two calves.

There are also four Congo Buffalo.

They left the park a couple of years ago.

At the moment ISIS is not available to the public,while they transfer all the data to a new system called ZIMS,once this is completed they may put it back on line,but in a very limited format for the general public!
