Three of Chester Zoo's tuataras have been exported to Australia. The three five-year-old females bred at the zoo in 2016 have arrived safely with two of them staying at the Australian Reptile Park and one will be moving to Taronga Zoo. These are the only tuatara currently in Australia so significant news.

3 baby Capybara have been born and were out playing today with Mum. All very sweet! They were born last week apparently.
Stanley the baby Giraffe was very active outside today, keeper was asked by someone at the talk, if they were expecting any more Giraffe babies and they said not that they were aware of.
On a side note, does anyone know how old the young Okapi is who shares the right hand paddock with its mum.
One thing that was nice to see today, was Tree Kangaroo Kayjo, was outside high up his tree, I don't think I ever saw the previous Tree Kangaroo outside at all.

Thanks for the update @Alwaysevergreen.
The Okapi calf is named Kora and she’s eight months old (born December 2021). Her parents are Stomp and Ada.

The zoo has announced they will be closed on the day of the queen's funeral which has yet to be announced. The CEO of the zoo released a statement on the website which also includes mention of the queen's visit in 2012.

The zoo has submitted slightly altered Grassland plans to the council. Mainly changes to building dimensions.
The lovebirds are now planned to go near the crane exhibit, along with an owl aviary. Although this appears to be a later stage of construction/planning.
The 2 dikdik habitats are now joined together with a house in between them.
The plans also show mongoose in the current Aardvark enclosure.

Thank you
Looking at the plans, I wonder what small mammal will go into the habitat attached to the new restaurant.
Also there is a possible aviary next to the hoofstock building.

Was wondering this too, unfortunately not every building has floor plans.
Some of the buildings like the vultures and mixed species house etc do have floors plans from the original grasslands plans from a couple of years ago.
Thanks, that is great to know!
