Colchester Zoo New giraffes arrive

[Kifaru Bwana]

Sorry to put you on the wrong footing, here!

Marcus has moved on already or has died (I do not have complete data sets for beyond 2006). As far as I know Twingo is no longer at Prescot/Knowsley either.

What remains to be ... is the Whipsnade set up (at 2.2, well according to ISIS that is). Which means 2.0+ Whipsnade born individuals have been shipped out (1.0 between last year and now anyhow).

What remains to be ... is the Whipsnade set up (at 2.2, well according to ISIS that is). Which means 2.0+ Whipsnade born individuals have been shipped out (1.0 between last year and now anyhow).

I saw 2.2 Giraffes at Whipsnade two weeks ago.

They are; Summer- female born Whipsnade 2003.
Ina- female recent import from Dvur Kralov
young male(Isiolo x summer) born Whipsnade 2006/7(?)
young male(Isiolo x Summer) born Whipsnade 2008/9(?)
Sorry, can't remember both names of the young males. One is 'Justin' I think.
The adult male died a few months ago- after failing to recover from anaesthetic I believe.

Edmund must have been sent to Colchester from Whipsnade at some point in the past but it is isn't recent. He is most likely progeny of one of the original females of the 2.3 group.. Maybe the older of the two young males at Whipsnade is the one shortly joining Colchester's group? If not it must be another from Europe.
