i thought the Golden cat had movedto another facilty but i could be wrong. a for the fishing cats there move has been mentioned in some of the other threads but just breifly they dont live in the only jungle cats house any moe because tas devils are going in there.

Are there new binturong???? i know Indha(dont think spelling is right) was born last year but i didnt know that there were new babys and theres on mention of them on the zoos webite so i would love to hear more info on them!

also a lot of your other questions are answered in other taronga zoo threads so check them out
 
im a bit confused....is indah the binturong born in 2007 still alive and the female from this most recent litter is dead or did indah die as well as a new baby girl just leaving two male offspring????
please clarify
 
indah is the girl born in 2007 and im pretty sure shes still alive at least she was the other day.

i dont know anything about the three others Danale is talikng about but i guess if triplets were born this year that would explain the mystery babies on the ZOO this weekend?
 
well if he is saying that the girl died leaving the pair with 2 new babies then i am assuming that its he new girl that died. but im just going to stay quite now because my hsc induced bubble has ment im a bit behind on my zoo news!

ill see if i cant find out specific details on saturday night.
 
Hey guys spoke to keepers Inda (not binda sorry) did die... so i was told and the orignal parents of her had two new offspring, didnt catch the sex of them, could not see them on display....
 
im really sorry to hear that! Indah was a beautiful little girl and it was so exciting when she was born..

if the original parents have two new ofspring that still dosnt explain the triplets that were on the ZOO on sunday night. maybe i just imagined the third one..... im going to the zoo on sat so ill work it out then if i can
