Newquay Zoo Lion

Any one know when Newquay are getting their new male lion? Or do you think they will just keep Connie on her own till she dies? I hope the next male lion isn't as jinxed as poor Kabir was!

Well the new exhibit looks good...small but good. I like the less obvious choice of crowned lemurs for the walkthrough rather than the standard ring tail or ruffed. Do we know when the narrow striped mongoose are likely to join the mix?

Thinking about it it look very small for lemurs, parrots, lovebirds, partidges and mongoose :eek:
 
2 white storks from Colchester have been added to the savannah exhibit.
 
0:0:3 Visayan Warty Piglet's have been born to the pair that arrived in 2009. :D
 
According to Newquay Zoo's facebook page the Fishing Cat have had young, although I do not know how many. There is also a video on the site:

Welcome to Newquay Zoo

EDIT: There is more than one.
 
Strange they've only just publicised this as there were photos of him in the Gallery that are a couple of months old.

It also confirms that their Black Wildebeest are sharing the mixed exhibit successfully- unlike Marwell's which haven't left their yard yet.:(
 
I am happy to see at least some collection having breeding success with their black wildebeest (white-tailed)! :D
 
Newquay Zoo staff were thrilled when they arrived for work to find a newborn nyala antelope.

The beautiful baby is even more special as it is the first of the species to have been born at the Zoo.

John Meek, Animal Collections Manager said: ‘‘We are so proud of the fact we have managed to breed an nyala – they are a beautiful species of antelope and by watching this baby grow up we will be able to learn even more about them. Mother and baby are doing well - the baby was up on its feet within hours and is getting stronger every day.
