Hello All

I have just joined this forum

I wonder if anybody could provide an update/information on the following animals at Longleat Please.

Kadu the tiger
Charlie and Mafui the male lions

Thanks
 
I asked the same questions, but none were replied to, so i presume nobody knows about Kadu or Mafui really? I presume Kadu must be in her 20's now, but my bets are on that she has died of old age. As for Mafui, i presume he has died as well, but I remember watching Animal Park, and he definately had a few females with him, even when Kabir came to replace him (Kabir got Mafui's daughters, Luna and Yendi)

I know Charlie is a castrated male, but he is a fine looking specimen and in my opinion should have been bred from. I presume that he is probably related to all of the females in the pride. Age wise, I'm unsure, I would think he was offspring of the last breeding male in that pride 'Ronnie' who left to retire at Newquay Zoo in 2000? But again, not completely sure?
 
when i went there i herd mafui was with all the old lions and kabir got all the young ones

well thats wat bob trolop told me
 
Kadu died a while ago when she was 21 I think. Poor Shandy died when she was 19 of a tumor. She was my fav animal in the whole park.:( I'm trying and failing to find a picture of her.

shandy lol, its chandi and yes i believe kadu dies last year
 
Do Longleat have plans to bring in a male Amur tiger for the 3 females, or are the females classes as surplus breeding stock?

yes thats right it went chandi - sonar - kadu


Actually it went Chandi-Kadu-Sonar because I've seen both the programs where Chandi and Kadu died and in the one with Kadu Sonar was still very much alive. I was crying when I found out that they had died.

PS I dont know how to quote
 
im sure it wasnt because ive seen one of the recent ephisodes and it is just kadu sitting on her own :S
 
Did anyone ever find out what happened to the older female lions/ and Mafui that didn't join Kabir's pride?

I've seen the recent episodes too and the one where Kadu died.
Someone said they were really sorry that Kadu died and they felt sorry for Sonar because his old friends were gone. Or they said something along the lines of that. They let the new tigers out in the show pen and Sonar was just sitting looking at them and roaring(do you call it roaring).

PS I've learned how to quote
