Great picture! Any news on pregnancies there yet...

By the way, with Nina at Dompierre having just given birth to Jade, is there any news on her own mother Kaveri being pregnant? She's already had 3 calves and is only 24, so plenty more time for another calf or two!!

No more news about any pregnacy. As I told before I think we will hear the news if Amersfoort is 200% sure about it. But I didn't spoke any keeper today.

I have no news about Kaveri. But it is not impossible for her to be pregnant but maybe she's the only one who knows it... Or she's is taking her time. Maybe she don't like Chang. Who knows? We need a French member.
 
Another great photo of a bull, thanks. I heard about cows being choosy with bulls at some occassions espicially matriachs, but in this case Kaveri probably just doesn't like him, cows can get used to a certain level or apperance of a bull, being used to Siam, there is no surpise here. Perhaps also she just wants a little more time?
 
I have seen a picture of Chang mating Kaveri in the internet some time ago but I can`t find it back. There are many different reasons why a female may not get pregnant again, and without any information I don`t understand how you can say that she "probably" just doesn`t like Chang. A bit too much speculation based on zero facts, I`d say.

I read on a German forum that some zoos do the same. They take a picture of their "giant" bull together with a small keeper. And when the photographer is kneeling down (a well known tric) it looks even taller.

Were they talking about any individual bulls ? For example Like Radza?
 
Here is a photo of Radza with his youngest son Anandá. I noticed on other photos that Anandá has the same eyes as his father.

Thanks, but the main photo was posted on this thread, not being rude, but cheers anyway.

Hmmm, does anyone know when we will decide on the largest bull? I know I'm being impatient, but if Boy's weight matches very well compared to Radza, I think we could hold a poll, for public opinion, just a suggestion.
 
I don`t think "we" can "decide" how the largest bull is - and why should there be a timeline?! The only thing we can do - and this is what we did - was exchanging the availible information about some bulls, just for fun. These informations are NOT complete and will never be. Or what do you think, how should we find out Boy`s weight? I am pretty sure the Kiev zoo has no scale so no one knows this! Regarding Packy/Oregon, no information about his dates is public, as far as I know. You can write the zoo and ask but no guarantee that you will get an answer (and I don`t know if they have a scale for the big bulls). Don`t take this too serious.

Yes Yassa there is no time line on finding out who is the biggest bull and yes it is just a bit of fun but it would be nice to know, I have stated this would take some time and there will be no quick answer I feel some just want a quick fix to this ;)
