We know about the 1 x Lars Gibbon but around the same time they also had the following
2 x Pygmy Marmosets (Warren and Hank) born 9th October
1 x Goeldi's Monkey (Cruz) born 9th October
? x Short Clawed Otters (unknown how many due to not wanting to disturb the female but about 5 weeks old now)

They have also got a Female Black Lemur who is now in the primate house along with a male so hopefully in the future maybe?

Tapir still off show

Orang Utan house now has the back wall virtually complete and coming along nicely

they are also hoping that the Ring Tailed Lemurs may be mating as there has been activity between males and females in the wood

I've put some photo's in the Gallery but be aware there not brilliant becasue of condinsation on the glass
 
ive heard about the geoldi's and the otters, but they have had like 2 or so squirrel monkey within the past 2 months
 
The tapir mystery continues! On my visit today the gate in the far corner of the paddock was shut so if the tapir was in the hut she couldn't get into the main area, also I didn't see any capybaras, only one tapir in the usual hut with 5 maras.

The snow leopards are still seperate, I was told that they will try to put them together when she comes into season as she might be more friendly to the male then.

Nobody knew when the lions would be introduced, but Itar is keeping a close watch on the new girls.

The rebuilding of the small primate house has been put on hold while the orang house is finished, but I was told it will be a quarantine area.
 
small primate house is holding one female black lemur and one male black lemur at present in the glassed enclosure at the end towards the second primate house.

The 2 capybara's were in the overnight shelter with the tapir on Friday
Will be visiting again on 8th Dec and again on the 29th Dec so hopefully will be some movement with the lions

Anyone who wants to come along on the 29th and have chat and wonder round I would love to meet up with you and put faces to names
