ZSL London Zoo London Zoo Notes Oct 08

didnt they breed some cloud rats the other year, i remeber reading it on thier site
 
The ZooWorld dispalys include Striped Skunk, Alaotran Gentle Lemur, Black-and-White Ruffed Lemur, Meerkat, Greater Galago, Chinchilla, Ferrets and a few more that I either couldn't see as they were roped off or can't remember! They're in the enclosures originally put in for Clore refugees and later used for birds during the bird house redevelopment. I think the Alaotrans have been there since these areas were first opened..?

The Cloud Rats have certainly bred; it'd be nice to see them being shared around a bit.
 
no the Alaotrans are defintely new in zooworld, they wernt there when i last visited (when they had the bird refugees)

thanks for that...
 
the alaotrans were in zooworld when it opened october 2005. now some of them have been transferred to clore and exhibited on the indoor outdoor section near the meerkats/lemurs
 
I saw plenty of alotran gentle Lemurs last week. In fact a keeper was taking a box into one of the ZooWorld enclosures in order to move one. I didn't stay to watch, I've seen this sort of thing many times before. She had quite a crowd of spectators though.
 
These enclosures were empty in march, I wonder if these small mammal species will actually go into the children's zoo when it opens?
 
i dont remeber the plans mentioning some of them..i know red pandas, meerkats, aardvarks were on the list...
 
Nothing new on the site about Biota - does anyone know whether there is any movement there ?
 
interesting name for a snake, london seems to be having a good breeding year!
