will jums be moving in the next 5 years hes had a lot of calfs and 2 of his daughters and 11 or 12 years old. just would like to know. thanks
 
Maybe the daughters may move to Port Lympne as both zoo's are running the African species?
 
one thing i don't understand, is that at howletts, Jums is left in with the group, apart from at night, but at port lympne, kruger is kept away from the girls for days on end. They did this with the asian group they also kept.
 
I guess every bull is different, the huge bull Radza at the Emmen zoo lives with the herd with the calfs as well
 
I think the Asian group went to Antwerp, and Jums is docile enough to be left with the herd. I don't think he'll ever be moved, they'd be more likely to move females around.

Port Lympne only have either 2 or 3 females currently, so this group could easily recruit any(more) of Jums' daughters from Howletts that are of breeding age.
 
they currently have two females. they originally moved three (Issa, Lara and Shara) from Howletts but Shara passed away due to twisted intestines.
