I dont disagree about Lily being in the breeding programme, I think its great for the Red Panda captive population. I just felt sad that she wasnt going to be in the UK. (I've missed her every time I've visited Lushui and Pali recently, when I knew Lily was somewhere in the back of the zoo) I think I'll be planning a holiday to Sweden in the near future
Well if they had kept the cub with them then you would have had an even longer wait for anymore cubs,as the female will not mate if the previous cub is still about!!!Im not holding my breath for more cubs this year, they didnt seem to show much mating displays, well not that I could see
Nope different Lily Chester's went to Sweden!You can have more than one animal with the same name in the same species!The San Diego Zoo has a new exhibit, I think it's called Asian Trail. They have a young panda named "Lily" and I think that she is a new arrival. There is a video of her on their site (I think it's sandiegozoo.org). She's supposed to be getting a mate soon. If this is the Chester Zoo Lily, she really lucked out. The SDZ is a great place, one of the top zoos in the U.S.
