The savannah side - Corro and Bonita's former exhibit
 
Maybe be wrong, it was early, but driving past the zoo, looks like they have started ground work for islands
 
Zootierliste says, that Chester received 1,1,2 further giant otters last year. Is this true?

There are two offspring out from September, and I think there may be others that didn't make it. No animals actually arrived as far as I am aware.

I made this edit - IIRC "erhalten" means recieved only if a zoo is listed, when the word is on its own it means "held". Thus it is intended to reflect the fact Chester holds an adult male and female, and two cubs of gender unknown.

ETA - Have found the correct term and have fixed my various edits :)

Chester have had so many babies I've forgotten - do we know the genders/names of the giant otters?
 
Chester Zoo 30 odd years ago

Hi

I started my working life at Chester Zoo some 30+ years ago. Are there any Chester zoo staff members here? it would be nice to find out if anyone is there from my old days.

Where is this? All I get is a list of current holdings or previous holdings.

When you click on the name of a zoo, it sometimes brings up details of that holding; I added information regarding how many giant otters and of which genders are at Chester.

Staff members do not use this forum at all. I know that there are definitely keepers that have been there at least 20 years, however not that many.

There are some who do and post regularly, despite it being expressly forbidden by the zoo. Even volunteers are told not to discuss what they do here, even if it's as benign as pulling coins out of the fountains.

Then of course, there are the members of zoo staff who are obsessive readers.

The only thing is that zootierliste does not like it, when information is added which zoos keeps how many of which species etc. as this information changes very regularly... Although it can be very informative.
 
The new Jaguar seems to have settled in well , have been a couple of times
Look forwards to seeing the new female this week
Have been told that shes a black Jaguar, don't know if that's accurate tho

Which is why I dated the information ;)
 
Vote now open via Facebook to name the latest elephant calf: Choices are....
Nanda - meaning River
Danti - Patience
Bala - Jasmine or Girl
Nandita - After a conservationist who the zoo work with in Assam

Personally like Nandita... but Bala in the lead as of now
