Interesting that Qld Biosecurity does not allow a breeding pair into the state.

Just in case they form a wild population and start destroying all of the bamboo in suburban queensland. But I'm sure there is a better reason then that.

On the news they looked a bit worn out. I hope that they can handle the heat and humidity here.

Well those ones at Cairns Tropical Zoo seem to be doing okay.

I was at Mogo over the easter weekend and noticed there seemed to be less pandas than the last time i visited, the servals had also been moved around and there were less of them. there was also an alligator in the tiger enclosure, but that's probably for a different thread. . . seems they are a very successful zoo

Mogo ays oneell with breeding Red Pandas and Servals. I didn't realise that there pandas at Cairns so if they are doing ok then the ones here in Brisbane should be fine.
It's good to see Alma branching out a bit and lets hope that they continue to improve. They don't have a loty of space for expansion so we will probably never see them with large cats, rhinos etc . If they concentrated on the small but charasmatic animals, eg otters, red pandas, meerkats etc then they should do well. So long as they do something about that awful monkey cage.
