It would certainly be more newsworthy than the 'annual Zoo stocktake'....

I was wondering if this was correct or sloppy research, but am away from home so couldn't do the usual amount of digging. Who holds the record, London? Belle Vue even?
Sorry our posts about 'Brumas' crossed.
Being pedantic, though, I must add that 'Brumas' was not the first polar bear cub but the first successful polar bear birth. (There were a number of polar bear cubs prior to 'Brumas' that did not survive.)
Quite so.
My two previous posts were made from my mobile phone whilst I was out this evening.
Having now returned home, I can provide some more accurate figures.
The ZSL Annual Report for 1950 gives the precise number of visitors for that year as 3,013,571.
Flower (1929) records that twenty polar bears were born at London Zoo between 1861 and 1922 although none survived. I am sure that there were other subsequent unsuccessful births, too, before ‘Brumas’ was born in 1949.
The little boy, is gonna be great for Chester and the breeding program! Well done Chester!
Here is an article on the Spotted Deer birth:

De-ja-vu - Monsoon Forest (or at least part of it) is currently closed following this latest incident. Orangutan escapes from enclosure at Chester Zoo
typical teens, always trying to sneak out of the house without getting noticed.

Would they have shared the details with the Orangs then?
They may seem cute and innocent but in reality Orang's are crafty little devils, I think Chester needs to invest in some Orang proof locks

Given the fact that on the first escape the locks weren't the problem I think you are being unfair seeing as all the locks worked fine that time,and I for one will wait to see what the cause is this time,I have a feeling that the locks weren't the problem again this time.If it is the same as before then it will be easy enough to put right!!
I never meant it seriously in all honesty I was trying to be humorous, though it isn't a strong point of mine. I feel you got the wrong end of the stick Giraffe with what I meant.
