Marwell Wildlife Marwell Zoo News 2018

They had two Foals born to separate females. It is the younger one that has died. The older foal (born in October) is still alive

These are the only offspring from the breeding male, Zac. The studbook reveals that he died in early 2018, having arrived from Paignton via Landau just 6 months earlier

I remember Zac as a newborn foal Paignton haven't had any more success than Marwell. Zac and his half-brother, Zola, (sons of Blesk who died in December 2011) were born in 2012. Stallion Uri arrived in 2012 and he and Taru have had two rejected foals. Zac's mother, Goma , died in May this year.

I've amended my post to reflect that. I hadn't realised they had two births. Lets hope the other one does okay.

The studbook reveals that Zola also died in 2017. He had recently transferred to GaiaZoo in the Netherlands prior to his death

So what is going to happen with the (awful) new coati area ?

Think it may become a Red Panda area,it was awful and the coati never did well there,unlike the old area.

Strange choice given they already have 2 red panda enclosures plus the bat eared fox enclosure was rumoured to become a red panda enclosure! I was hoping for Wombat and tasmanian devil, but this is Marwell not Hamerton!!
