Forget to mention that, the grass is growing really well and is much improved in the last 2 weeks.

Also could you find out why there is a small group of chimps (about 5) being kept sperate from the main group?

Thanks

I met a fellow zoo member yesterday who had adopted the guanacos and who had received a letter to say they had moved away from Chester and his adoption was being transferred. The letter didn't say where they went, and he would like to know.

Would these be the females due to be exported?

Could be as I struggled to see any males. Are these not pure females then?

Where are they being kept?

Where are they being kept?

They were inside and had access to the dens, while the main group were shut completely outside. This was the same both Sat and Sunday.

I don't think the identity of any of the chimps is known.

 

[LeeMac13]

Could it be because of fighting within the group?

I think it's just to thin out the numbers, if there were problems with aggression I'm sure something would have been done earlier.

See if anyone knows the new antelope species for the rhino section (to replace the wallabies).

I think it is a group of lesser kudu.
