Exciting about the Hyaenas, I'll look forward to that.
Just the Spotted group at Colchester currently (shockingly).
Hamerton's eastern and southern aardwolves are members of the hyena family.
Belfast has a striped hyena.
Belfast went out of Striped Hyena earlier this year. Both individuals went to separate collections in Germany
That's a shame, Nisha. The hyena is still listed on ZTL.
I've requested that they be removed from ZTL.
I agree, a real shame. That makes it 4 UK zoos getting rid of Striped Hyaena in less than 10 years !
According to ZTL, Twycross went out of Arabian striped hyenas in 2017; Colchester went out of striped hyenas in 2011, Heythrop in 2014, Africa Alive in 2015 and Belfast in 2018 (that was quick, Nisha).
So it's 5, I didn't consider Heythrop! That's even worse and in 7 years!
Twycross moved the final Arabian with good intentions though. They originally had two sisters but they fell out and had to be seperated.
One was offered a place with a male at Jihlava. Which left the remaining sister on her own at Twycross and not doing anything. Eventually Dvur Kralove went into them and paired her up with a male too. Opportunities that Twycross couldn't or wouldn't give them

it sure is a very exciting time when the Koalas and Wombats arrive. here's more about them https://www.longleat.co.uk/news/longleat-to-host-international-koala-breeding-programme
