Twycross Zoo twycross zoo

Have a look at the threads on Twycross Zoo. There might be something there that's new to you.
 
I received a christmas card today from Twycross, on the front is a picture of a white stork in the snow.
Inside their is a mini annual report including the arrival of lemurs, degus, twin meerkats and two female lions, if this is by birth or arrival it doesn't say.
Also mentioned is the death of Joe, and looking forward to 2009 the anticipated opening of the elephant walkway and the new lion and dhole exhibit due for completion in 2010, and the opening of a "specialist" childrens zoo around easter 2009, with the visitor welcome centre opening in 2010.
 
There were 2 female Asiatic lions in the enclosure in October , presumably arrivals .
 
Which bonobo female is moving to Germany? Someone knows when and to which zoo exactly?

Their from Edinburgh, this is from the twycross zoo website

'At the end of March 2008, Twycross Zoo will receive two female lions from Edinburgh Zoo: Kyra born in April 2006 and Asha born in May 2006. The lionesses will be matched up with an attractive blind date when he becomes available to join his partners.'
 
I hear that 'another priority development currently being started is a children's adventure playground'.
It's very interesting to learn what their priorities are. Animals must be way down on their list. My vision of their future as some sort of theme park becomes less and less far-fetched.
 
Are the 2 off show Brazilian Tapirs the pair that went to Twycross when Southport Zoo closed down??

I also noticed a trio of Black & White Colobus that looked very much like the Southport Monkeys that were suposed to have gone to Trotters World in the Lake District.

Also, did Twycross ever get the Lar Gibbons back from the Welsh Primate Sanctuary that took them on when Southport Zoo Closed?? The 2 male gibbons were both on loan from Twycross originally.

In answer to your questiopn about the Tapirs i believe they are the ones from Southport,as for the Colobus think you are wrong about them coming to Twycross and as for the Gibbons no they are still in South Wales funny it taken them this long to remember where they are or is just that the Gibbon House now has 2 or 3 empty enclosure now!!!!!!
 
ISIS is no longer showing a Malayan Tapir calf at Twycross, does anyone know whether it is still alive?
 
Tapir

When I last visited Twycross over a fortnight ago, I asked about the Malaysian Tapir calf and was told that it had died. On mentioning that it was sad to another member of staff on the way out however, they knew nothing about it and were very surprised. I had gone with an express aim of seeing if I could get a glimpse of it. On a happier note, I was told that the infant bonobo that is being handreared by two of the keepers is doing very well.
 
Any news on what is happening to female orangutan, Satu? She was supposed to be going to Germany at one point.
