ZSL Whipsnade Zoo Updates from July 2011

Went up to Whipsnade over the weekend to enjoy the sunshine and had a lovely day!
Couple of things to report, managed to spot the lynx cubs (adorable!) Didn't manage to get any photos as my batteries had died, but did find this video on youtube with some awesome footage of them playing at 2.17.

Also very exciting was that there is a Gaur calf!, just managed to glimpse it through the shed door, and a keeper said it was just over a week old!

Otherwise nothing very exciting although it was lvely to see all four giraffes out and about, looks much better with the two new ones!

Any questions, feel free to ask!

Good news about the Gaur calf. That will be the first born there since its own father.

Quoted for link - but also excellent news on the gaur calf - for me probably the highlight of Whipsnade

Excellent news of the gaur, hopefully a new start for Whipsnade and these wonderful cattle.
