It's not a mystery what happened to Curu - he stayed at Colchester until 2020 when he went to Touroparc Zoo in France.
Really? I find that kind of a bit pathetic TBH (around and prior to transfers to/fro ... I accept that it is embargo, but beyond that ... not really especially with high profile species).
This sounds good, I always like seeing a species that's only held at one zoo in the country. Will the California sea lions be leaving the zoo once the new fur seal enclosure is done, or are they staying?“This is the last summer of the sea lion show as we know it.
“We have got a brand new sea lion exhibit that we’re developing for cape fur seals – a brand new type of sea lion that you can’t see anywhere else in the UK, exclusive to Flamingo Land.
“They’re already here, we’re already looking after them, and we are building a world class habitat for those cape fur seals.”
Cape fur seals are coming to Flamingo Land Resort.
Cape fur seals are found on the coastline of Southern Africa.
It’s the only place in the world they can be found in the wild.
Ross said:
“The new Lost River ride will circle around their new habitat. You’ll be able to see them underwater in their three separate pools.
“We’ll still be doing sea lion presentations – but not shows as people may have seen. It’s going to be an amazing exhibit.”
Foud the report
The log flume is in the same place but the drop has been made smaller
The wording of that banner makes it seem like I may have a chance of seeing a Cape fur seal when I visit Flamingo Land in a couple of weeks, that's very exciting! Has it been said whether or not the California sea lions are staying at the zoo once the new Cape fur seal enclosure opens?
Where are the Cape fur seals coming in from?
Rhyl seaquariam I think
Correct. The four female Cape fur seals from the now-closed Rhyl Seaquarium moved to Flamingo Land earlier this year.
I only saw three, two females and one male. That being said, construction work on a new lion enclosure is underway, so perhaps some of the seven were off-show? I don't know though.
I saw the foal when I visited earlier this week, it's such a little cutie, and I put up a couple of photos in the gallery. I didn't see either of the parents at any point though, the foal was just on its own in the yard.
