Visited Today! Hooray!
Notes
Saw about 6 elephants in the paddock today including baby Nayan. didn't see Upali althougth there was a cow in the bull pen.
Blackbuck and brow-antlered deer where on the muddy yard area next to the main bridge. No sign of an Indian Rhino.
Butterfly house is a really good exhibit. One of the highights.
Saw the Anteater! Didn't manage to get a photo though.
Both Okapi's were out and active. Counted 7 giraffes. Largest the herd has been for a while. All 7 congo buffalo where on their yard.
Only saw 3 Red river hogs today.
Loads of Roul roul partridges in the tropical realm. Didn't realise they had so many. All the hornbills where very showy today. Saw one great indian in the elephant house, a pair in the tropical realm and another single specimin in between the writhed and the wrinkleds. No sign of the Philippine crocodiles. Liked the frog exhibits although I miss all the reptiles like the anacondas and chameleons. All the capuchins were out on the island.
Saw no jaguars inside. Really impressed with the amphibian exhibit in SOTJ. Didn't see the emerald boa. Must of missed it. Saw a pair of Jaguars outside in the waterfall enclosure.
Saw a mother and baby Bornean Orang-utan inside RORA. Saw all Sumatrans outside with the gibbons and OTTERS! Didn't know otters had access to their enclosure. There were two otters with the babirusa aswell.
Spent ages with the chimps in their inside enclosure. There was a very young one being carried around by what looked like an older sibling or cousin. Two large males then decided to head outside and the whole troop followed after.
No sign of the Giant otters which was a shame. Their enclosure looks really nice.
Managed to spot one tiger alseep on the platform. Have never seen two together.
Couldn't see any Dwarf mongooses.
Saw both lions on their platform. Also saw 3 cheetahs together in the enclosure nearest to the camels. They were pacing at the gate waiting to be fed I think.
No sign of the Anoa but saw 3 female Philippine spotted deer. No sign of the Visayan warty pigs next to the bats. Saw a sow and 3 piglets in the enclosure near to the giraffes.
Saw 2 tapirs. They were being kept on the yard. Only saw 1 capybara which was on the paddock. Counted 6 Vicuna and 4 rhea. Saw 1 spectacled bear but no sign of coati.
The scimitar-horned oryx herd were on the sand yard. Didn't see any zebra. Gemsbok herd still out on grass. Sitatunga look to have had a successful year. No sign of Roan antelope. Saw 5 or 6 lechwe females.
No access on the old przewalski's horse path. Work has started on African wild dog enclosure.
Saw warthogs and mongoose being fed. Hadn't seen them very much before.
Saw 1 black-tailed marmoset inside.
All in all a good day!
