The vulture aviary will be to the west of the Tsavo aviary.

It is supposed to house 4 species of African vulture. My guess for the missing one is Rüppells Griffon.

That was also my Understanding that the vulture aviary was there as an education purpose of how important they are to the African Eco System

Anyone know what ever happened to the sturgeons in the sunken garden fountain? Not a part of the zoo I go down to very often but can't say I remember the last time I saw them and ZTL has them in former holdings.

Finally got around to asking one of the aquarium team yesterday. There were two, of which one had to be euthanised some time ago and the other is believed to be still in the pond but hasn't been seen by any of the team in months. So if you see it, let them know.

I had no idea that one of them was thought to still be around, I'll have to start checking every time I visit now.
