Call of the Wild Zoo New collection in Essex: Call of the Wild Zoological Park

Can you provide a list of all the animals that have definitely gone from the collection, so that I may update the inventory please? Did it for Folly Farm & Hertfordshire zoo.

I don't work at the zoo, and only go on info that the keepers tell me and what I've seen on my monthly visits. The zoo has quite a large off show area and animals have been moved because of the building works.
Here is what's definitely gone.
Donkeys.
Red tailed Black Cockatoo.

Here's what I suspect has gone because I've not seen for a year plus.
Porcupine,
Llama
Rhea
Fox
Burmese Python
Wood Turtle
Gouldian Finch


Pease confirm with head keeper Sam Prior or Ryan Shorter (Owner) before updating.
Thanks.
 
Visited the zoo today yesterday (Thursday). Lovely to see that Eloise (Colobus) clutching another, very young, baby to her breast.
It amused me to see one of the keepers collecting some escaped Leaf Cutter ants from the zoo entrance. There were quite a few so she had her work cut out.
I counted 3 Meerkat babies in the enclosure.
The new Asia Exhibit is looking great, not quite finished yet, but will be soon. There is also a notice on the Binturong, and ASCO enclosure saying that they're moving, so they might be moved to there?
In the tropical house, the Sailfin Lizard enclosure was empty with a refurbishment notification.
What was the Wood turtle pool, has been drained and is also empty.
The dinosaur exhibition is still there.
Outside, the genet enclosure has become part of the Asia Exhibit, and Felix (genet) is off show. I'm assured he's coming back!
In the display area, I managed to catch the falconer training the Aplomado Falcon and a (not seen before) Saker Falcon.
The new Jungle cafe was fully open, and prices seem reasonable.
 
I have just seen a video on a fan page on Facebook showing the tropical house, mainly focusing on the fact that it has been re-themed as a dinosaur section with a number of plastic models now in there. However, the video does also show a new species - a Luzon bleeding-heart dove.
