Lahra must have arrived before August last year in order to produce a foal now.

Whereas I applaud the vet's intervention and the surgery result, I wonder what the long term prognosis or development of the youngster might be as she is still very much growing rapidly...
should be much better than if she was a several ton adult
Another new addition, at least the 2nd maybe 3rd calf born in last couple of years
Say hello to our newest little arrival...
Our roan antelope herd has a new calf! This little girl is already out exploring in the Africa section. As she grows older, her face colours will develop into a classic roan mask pattern

Sad news from Knowsley:
"It is with sadness we share the loss of Froja, our 14-and-a-half-year-old female European Moose.
Froja enjoyed a long life here at Knowsley Safari however in her final months, she began to experience age-related symptoms, which our expert animal team managed carefully. Sadly, on Tuesday, she was found to have passed away peacefully of natural causes.
Froja was a truly unique and much-loved animal who was a firm favourite among guests and keepers alike. Her distinctive character brought daily joy to the entire team who had the pleasure of closely working with her.
She will be greatly missed by all staff and visitors."

There have been signs up on the relatively new Nature Trail section of the foot safari to highlight a new area where Moose will be located, so it does appear there is a long term plan for Moose at Knowsley

I went during half-term, and she was in perfectly good condition, but she was hiding by a tree in the back, maybe that was a sign of old age.
I welcome this move from the current area. I have this wee recollection that - correct me if I am wrong - the moose have never really done quite well at Knowsley. The reason for this is not known by us... I just wonder what your perspectives are on this?

From my recollection, they originally received 0,2 from Highland Wildlife Park, one of those being the female who recently passed away. At one point (2015/16?), they acquired a male (I believe) when they lived down on the foot safari before the single female was eventually moved up to the Safari drive.
