Little Something from the stock list the Zoo has 12 blue legged mantella and how many have people actually seen?

Haha! I noticed that too!

 

[bongorob]

I have seen a grand total of 0 blue-legged mantella. And everyone else I know has got the same figure.

 

[bongorob]

Is there anywhere I could get earlier reports then the ones currently on the web page as I am really interested in the bird species they have kept at the collection over the years.

some old stock lists are on the forum somewhere

Where are the blue-legged mantella (supposedly ) housed? I'm visiting next week and feel it necessary to join the ranks of people who haven't seen them!

At the back Tropical Realm on the left hand side of the building between the Golden Mantella and Blue Anole.

To be exact, the north side. The left side depends on which way you face.

Now, I wonder if AdamD601 has jinxed us, and by going to the zoo with the intention of not seeing blue-legged mantellas, actually manages to spot one.

On my last visit I didn't even know that the blue-legged mantellas were so good at hiding. I don't think I saw any but I definitely remember seeing the blue stick insect.

Chester have uploaded a video of Napo and Goshi playing and interacting with each other.This could mean that the extra time they are spending with each could mean cubs are on the way.

How exciting! I don't think that the zoo has ever successfully bred jaguars before. I think they had a litter in 2005 but they didn't survive.

The number of 'coulds' in this post demonstrates, I think, that you're reading things into this just that aren't really there.

You never know though.

Haha, you've figured out my plan!
