Nothing yet.
On the rhino front, has Bashira left yet? I know she was still there as of last Saturday (31st) with Asani in Tsavo one.

If you mean the Adaze mating then I doubt you'll hear anything until they are born maybe - it's a tricky business is Cheetah mating
On the positive side, whilst there last Sunday I could see KT & her boys (Rufaa & Juba) in the long enclosure at the back of the main one along the bridle path - they seemed very frisky - so as I managed to see the other 4 adults that day too TECHNICALLY I got a Cheetah full house - but no photos (except Adaze lounging in a sunbeam on the mound).

Good job she lives up to her name, I managed to spot KT and cub(s) too.
The PDF-downloadable version of the map on the website has been updated - it's still the same style but the pathways have been made clearer and more accurate, the bridle way is clearer (and explained in a footnote) and a numbered key is used so the map is a little less cluttered. It's certainly an improvement, but still not the best map they've had.

One advantage is the key means a lot more animals are listed (although 1's and 7's are not easy to tell apart in that font!). Interesting image choice to represent 'antelope'...

Truly awful--this is supposed to help visitors appreciate the great conservation work of Chester Zoo?
Not that there is any degree of cartographic accuracy here, but approximately where on this "map" is the new Islands development located?
The worst of is that this genuinely is better than the 2011 version, which was quite possibly the worst zoo map ever produced, with some areas bearing not even a slight resemblance to the actual pathways: http://www.zoochat.com/42/current-map-chester-16-04-11-a-210295/
It's an extension to the current site behind where the Scimitar-horned Oryx and Grevy's Zebras are (under the Key, basically!).

... We'll see in a eighty or ninety days
Went yesterday and the gardens are looking very nice indeed.
Spent a happy hour watching tiger cubs with the remains of (what looked like) a blackbird.
Didnt see the cheetah cubs unfortunately but the boys are still a very welcome sight.
Serval looking very content resting in the sun.
No anteater, only seen the female once, oh well maybe next time!

You probably won't see the cheetah cubs until the zoo are sure that the cub is fine and his leg is better.
Re: Serval probably was enjoying the sun due to the sun isn't what it could half be in Africa so any sun is welcoming for him.

I saw 'em!

There probably trying to get him used to walking on it again and try stretching his legs outside.
I have re-edited my post, I was uploading a photo and lost concentration!
There is now at least one Pudu mixed in with the Anteaters. The Dinosaurs Bite Back Exhibit features viewing and signage for Flamingos and Komodo Dragons, with messages showing how they are linked to dinosaurs.
Not sure how long these have been here, but I noticed several 'designated smoking areas' around the zoo today.
Elsewhere, a new mobile app for the zoo has been released, but the new entrance system is rather confusing - though there are people to show you the way and it all seems quite fast flowing, though the prices in the shop seem to have shot up somewhat!

Wondering how long it would take for somebody to pick up on the pudu, as I posted a picture of one in the anteater enclosure on Sunday and nobody brought it up on the forum.
