They said on Facebook, ants are counted as a colony thank god! I would hate the job of counting every single one!They never show the important things like who counts the ants

The male giraffe calf born on Boxing Day to mum Tula and dad Meru has been named ..... Murchison!:This adorable Chester Zoo newborn has been given a fitting name

Next year, Chester may use one of their giant ant meters.
Fine, fine @GL, but as they say in Madagasikara …., consuming chameleons is considered fady and also bad for your general health (something to do with animisms). So, I would not recommend to do so.
But seriously, you know full well what I meant when writing my comment on the chameleons in the Tropical Realm.
Yes, of course, but it's not an appropriate idiom in a public forum.
When I was in the rain forest near Perinet, somebody offered me a Parson's chameleon to keep. I wonder how this fits in with fady, never mind conservation.
Wow! Such brilliant news I hope to see more improvements like they are implementing now because of it! Non the less hopefully this has opened peoples minds to conservation and animals they have never heard of! All I can say is the zoo is certainly doing most things right and deserve all this!
Record attendance for the zoo in 2016.
Records smashed! Chester Zoo saw the highest number of visitors ever for a UK zoo in 2016 | Deeside.com
However, this is not a record for a U.K. Zoo.

Indeed not if only they opened on Boxing day then they would have cleared the 1.9 million visitors for the year,but I am sure they will beat it this year!
This may be a stupid question but is Secret Life of the Zoo finished now? I may be misremembering but I recall someone saying there would be some episodes, an Xmas special, and then a few more episodes?
If that is the case they may as well re run season 1 because half the stuff on the elephants and giraffes will be the exact same no doubt because of the babies!
I'm pretty sure those two bits of news will be one episode considering their close proximity to one another timing-wise. Would be nice for them to round off the new series that way, like we've come full circle almost.

They missed the Giraffe birth so that will not be part of the series!!!

Silly giraffe ought to have known better and given birth when the cameras were there.
Well the cameras were there,they just weren't on as the crews had taken 2 days off,as the zoo was closed to the public on those days.Next time I think they might leave a skeleton crew in,but then again they might not.
