Twycross Zoo New possible Silverbacks

Great news about Blackpools new male hopefully the 8 years wasted may of found the right male at last.

Actually, its much longer as they had another unsuccessful male/female combination before Jitu arrived.:(

Hopefully now that they have a (potentially) good male and three good females they can finally expand the group with breeding.
 
Good news & sorry I queried you- though I suspected you might be 'in the know' from the way you posted the info.;) I looked on the website today but there is still nothing. Maybe Xmas period got in the way.

Expect pregnant Gorillas forthwith !!!


Don't worry about it. I know as well as anyone that a lot of complete rubbish gets passed off as fact on the internet, so you've gotta be careful.

As for Blackpool - yes, fingers crossed for baby gorillas! I think the zoo deserves it, its a very nice zoo IMO and the gorilla island is excellent, plus it would be a good attraction for them. And of course, more baby gorillas has got to be a good thing!

I would agree. They look after their Gorillas very well and have made several exchanges to rectify the non breeding situation in the past, though not successful. I am pretty confident they will be breeding soon now:)

Do you know if the male 'Bukavu' is with the females yet?

Not sure sorry - that update I posted was the most recent. I expect it'll be on the official website in due course though, if I hear anything I'll post it on here of course.
