I think he means his mystery species.
Chester Zoo Game
- Thread starter lowland anoa
- Start date
People are getting confused.
The zoo still has Sumatran tigers, 0.2 in the Jaguar house, outside enclosure by coffee shop, and 3.2 in the tiger enclosure. None have been moved to Islands.
The female babirusa and her baby are still in the enclosure by RORA with the otters.
Swampy did not say the zoo did not have tigers, Swampy said the zoo has the species (and has done so for a while), but it is not on Zootierlist.
I was thinking of Balabac chevrotain but that is on zootierlist. Back to the drawing board.

Sorry for causing that confusion, i'll try to be less ambiguous in future.
Here's a clue: Using all the letters in this species's binomial name, you can form 2 middle eastern countries and a large Australian bird.
I don't understand it.
If you take the letters in the genus and species name of this species, and rearrange them, they spell out 2 middle eastern countries and a large Australian bird.
Does that mean mine is being moved too?
They don't hold this species anymore.
According to zootierliste they don't and never have done and I knew they did not that long ago so I decided to guess

Ask Bongorob because he know the zoo very well.

Like most lechwe in Europe, they were Kafue Lechwe, not 'proper' Red Lechwe, so are listed under that name.
Here's another clue then:
this species is the second largest mainland species in it's family.
Manouria emys! I was trying to make the anagram work earlier but kept getting stuck because I was fixated on Iran. (Oman - Syria - Emu?)
Yup, correct anagram, correct species. Your turn!

Chester held Kafue Lechwe between 1959-2012 , they are listed on Zootierlist as Kafue Lechwe, which is why you can't find any reference to Red Lechwe.
