Chester Zoo Small cats for Chester?

[kiang]

After yesterdays revelation of the Pallas cat on the white board, i have looked at another picture, this time from the Mirror, and above the tail of the calf, looks to be the word Pallas, and above the nape of the neck, seems to be written leopard cat.
Is it me or am i seeing things

Are there new areas for small cats planned?

Moral of the tale, never get publicity shots done in your office.

Isn't this meant to be a cute pic of a baby dik dik?

Perhaps the keepers put them on the board deliberately to fool ZooChatters when it was taken.

Good point Zambar.

I think they might have put "We want hippogryphs" or some such. The board does say Pallas cat and fishing cat, but of course there might be many reasons why those names were written up.

it says pallas cat/(or) fishing cat and leopard cat. So I think they will only get one species.

what happened to the word "jaguarundi" that was in the original photo (on the dik-dik thread) after the words "leopard cat"? Maybe someone just likes writing small cat names on the board for fun

EDIT: never mind, its just behind the dik-dik's neck...can still be seen on one of the photos in this thread.....so in full it says "Pallas cat/fishing cat - leopard cat/jaguarundi"

.... or as Zambar said earlier maybe the zoo is getting it's own back on Zoochat!

Or it could be the biggest double bluff that Chester has ever done

I don't see the point of Chester doing something so childish and pointeless, I'm sure the zoo has far better stuff to do that fool a few Zoo Nerds!

Depends on how much the zoo nerds annoy them!

 

[bloodycurtus]

also zoo staff are allowed a sense of humor

Why shouldn`t the staff do something for a laugh when people like Elephant400 can post aload of rubbish about a Serval escape at Chester on here!!

If you digitally remove the baby dikdik you can quite clearly see the name of the mystery ungulate on the whiteboard. It's a scandal on the scale of that minister walking past photographers clutching an easily viewable file of the secret police operation
