Port Lympne Wild Animal Park Djala

The 6th of September 2010 was my last visit and the display board for his group showed :

Djala
Mumba
Kishi
Tamki
Emmie
Kibi
Foufou
Yene
Mbwambe
Djongo

There was as least one small infant in the group as well that I can remember. I spent more time watching the older bachelor group as I thought it would probably be the last time I see them.

They must be going soon, if they haven't already. I hope moving them to Rhenen Zoo doesn't result in fighting as there have been cases(abroad) where a male group that previously lived in harmony together have been upset by the change and all started fighting. Just a thought.
 
The girls “Louna” and “Mayumba” also still are in the group.

Which men go to Rhenen?
(Mataki,Boumi.....?)

Mataki, Boumi, Ambam, Kush & Djimu. These are the five that live together.

Timbou used to be in this group also but has lived seperate (because of incompataility/fighting) for several years so I think he will stay on at Port Lympne.
 
And the other black/silverback
Ujiji?

Djumbah and BuBu are since summer 2010 in Nyiregyhaza!

Jaja, Dishi, Kouni and Mpassa are since spring 2010 in La Bossirere!

AFAIK 'Ujiji' is still at Port Lympne. I believe they tried to reunite him with Djumbah and Bubu so I think maybe they wanted him to go as well, but they were not able to.

I think the EEP would not allow any more males to go to La Boissiere, after Yeboah and Vimoto left, so they got those four males from the Djala group at Port Lympne instead.

Ujiji and Timbou will soon be the only bachelor silverbacks left now at Port Lympne.
