Colchester Zoo colchester zoo update

[hannah]

visited colchester zoo today & this is what i saw or found out

new baby giant anteater that was born on 22nd july, enclosure was taped off to give mum & baby more privacy. the previous baby giant anteater, silver, has been moved to the old fosssa enclosure.

the pregant rhino (flossy) is heathly & having a smooth pregency, she's due in september.

the male red panda is no along in the enclosure & when the train passed by the driver was saying they only have 1 red panda. there was no keeper nearby to ask so i don't know where he has gone, does anyone else know?

building has started on the new leopard enclosure & i briefly saw the new male leapard & he seems to be settling in.

there is a baby red ruffled lemur that is a couple of weeks old that looks heathly & was moving around a lot.

rajang(?) was in a training session when we saw him. tiga was moving around the inside enclosure a lot when we saw him in the morning, when we went back in the aftertoon he was hiding under a cover.

finally both the bintarongs have been put in the same enclosure.

Do you know if the Fossa have left due to Silva being in that enclosure?
Cynthia is the pregnant Rhino, not sure if the AI worked on Emily aswell?
There is only 1 Red panda, a female, there were 2 on my previous visit (I went Friday, the previous visit in April).
I couldn't see the new Leopard and the new leopard enclosure looks as if it is going to be very big, not sure if Dende is staying now there is a new male?
I think there are 3 binturongs, 2 in the heights zone enclosure and one in the smaller exhibit at the small mammals area.
Finally, welcome to Zoochat

thanks
the fossa hasn't been there the last couple of times ive been not sure why or where hes gone though. Im guessing it was just an available enclosure they could put silva in.

not sure what is happening with dende haven't heard anything about him being moved but then again it will take them awhile to build the new enclosure so plenty of time to find a new home for him if they do move him.
