I haven't seen the Giant Otters at Chester (yet..) but I'll bet they still have a lot of general visitors who miss the Sealions. I agree the Giant Otters are a very good addition to the Collection but to my mind its a pity they couldn't have kept both.
most people think the Giant Otters are the Sea Lions always makes me chuckle
Wow! Always wanted to see one of these, just nearly deafened a gibbon in excitement! [lets see who gets that
]This makes the arrival of giant pandas even juicier, as I don't think I can justify going before they arrive so I will get to see new Egyptian vulture, Andean cock-of-the-rock, Giant pandas, Persian fallow deer, marbled polecat and who knows what else that arrives between now and then
Also, get to see the things I missed last year such as blue-eyed black lemur, Asian golden cat, Buff-cheeked gibbon and a few others (plus, sun bears weren't there when I went). Exciting times ahead

Unfortunately the cock-of-the-rock not on display yet and not sure when it will be, but the gibbons and black lemurs especially are really active and visible just now (the black lemurs have an overhead tunnel across a public path and the are often in there so you get good close-up views of them). The vultures are easily seen too and seemed pretty settled already.
so where have they moved the black stork that was in that avariy
Think it has moved to the african aviary next to hunting dogs?

You've got the same idea as me JR, Egyptian Vultures eh
what's next South China Tigers
They are in the former camel paddock.
I think the vultures in the former great grey owl aviary, will be a temporary thing as the current raven aviary, butted onto the camel house was built specifically for Egyptian vultures, which they could not get hold of at the time.
Think they look pretty good in the aviary they are in and they have good opportunites to fly around, possibly more so than they would have in the raven aviary?

Can I ask people not t suggest too many unusual species? Animal people at Edinburgh Zoo read this and they just love going down the "unusual" route. Give us at least 6 stable months please? At least to get used to where everything is! lol
We are zoochatters Simon, this is what we do
I think the next few months will bring in a few surprises more.

Seriously, though, that's what I love about Edinburgh's collection. As someone once described it, it's very vibrant!
Once all the bad stuff of recent months is finally put to rest I think the future is exceptionally bright for Edinburgh Zoo and it's all testament to the calibre of the staff there.

Really they are getting Fairy Penguins? that would be cool. I think finding another female king penguin would be good too... as there is only one there now it would be a shame if the iconic Edinburgh Zoo animal was no longer kept there
