Dartmoor Zoo Dartmoor Zoo news 2024

Is anybody else starting to get even more concerned about the missing Binturong, if it's to be believed this animal has been missing now for eight days and next weeks weather looks awful
 
Malu has been eating well overnight and he seems calm and in good health. The team will monitor him to ensure he is doing well, and will be reviewing Malu’s enclosure over the next 12 – 24 hours, to assess any changes that need to be made and Malu will be in a suitable, temporary enclosure until works have been completed.
Apparently he escaped twice
 
I think new male Lynx to go with the female, or maybe a Bobcat.

Not sure they have an exhibit suitable for Hyena, plus none of the zoos exhibits are meshed all the way over (Bar the current wildcat or Lynx), so with open top exhibits, it would limit what they could bring in.
