Single female arrived earlier in the year from Paris.
). The video is quite a cool little advertisement for Act for Wildlife though.
Visited the zoo today, weather was cold but quite a few of the animals showed well;
-Aardvarks have moved back in with the Meerkats with the Porcupines going off-show, I think. This is probably due to the fact that the aardvark enclosure by the painted dogs is heavily flooded so I assume this is only a temporary arrangement.
-The Sumatran Rhino Beetle have been moved back into the Monsoon Forest invert areas in place of the Atlas Beetle.
-Bert the Pudu has moved in with the Azara's agouti in the round enclosure. His former enclosure (former serval/cheetah enclosure) is now empty.
-The water dragon enclosure in RORA is also now empty and being refurbished.
-The signage for identifying the chimps in the house has finally been removed after being out of date for quite a while.
-Alot of Christmas stuff around, they have wrapped up the statues of the rhino,giraffe and elephant at the entrance along with the lanterns around the zoo.

Hi guys! I am new here and it's a lot to read everything in here (I'd have to read up everything since 2015 
) , so I thought I just ask here. (edit: I did use the search function - but there was not much to be found).
A friend of mine is trying to get info/photos about the chimpanzee "Vila" but did not succeed yet. How is she doing at Chester Zoo?
Thank you in advance for helping us ;-)

Vila was born in 1995 at Zurich Zoo to female Xandra. She moved to Gelsenkirchen in 2006 and then to Chester in 2015. She is now fully integrated into Chester's troop. The hopes are she will breed in the future.Hi guys! I am new here and it's a lot to read everything in here (I'd have to read up everything since 2015

Thank you very much MagpieGoose! I will let her know, she is going to be happy to hear this
Do you mean the original one, or the second version, if you mean the latter there aren't any plans yet. If you mean the first one they are somewhere in the planning application for Islands.
I did mean the first one. But with it not being on the second one, does this mean the plans for the komodo dragon house have been scrapped?
Do you have a link to this info?

Secret Life ... suggested last night the hope that the Andean Bear family would all be united when Mandita was around ten months; does anyone know if this has been tried?
Pgymy marmosets have been added to the zoos website.
However on the map it's in the monkey islands house and it's image is awful in comparison to the other map drawings. It's basically a fuzzy blob with a face.

I think this is it. It is huge, so you may need some to find what you are looking for.
Planning Documents
All I could find was Heart of Africa documents.
