Do you know if I’m missing any lions names
 
I just recieved an email update from WMSP and it's about the African Walking Trail. "African Walking Trail will be opening on Saturday 28th May. This will give guests a chance to see some of the Safari animals on-foot for the very first time in the Park's history!
Take a stroll up to this new area, with viewpoints overlooking giraffe, white rhino, African elephants and more".

I know I said this before but it's for those who doesn't so here it is
Plans for the future is in fact bringing more new African Elephants to build up a herd so that they can offically breed and that'll be really good indeed. What does the future hold for the other animals aswell bintarong ?

Does anyone know how many giraffes and lions (white and normal) are on the safari
 
In recent years, WMSP has lost several ungulate species (Addax, Gembsbok, Cape Buffalo & Nilgai to name a few), what are the particular reasons for these? The Addax seems a particularly strange departure, as a Critically Endangered species.

I'm sure it's all part of the park's overall 'masterplan' and there will be things coming in future to replace them! However, it's odd that a safari park, which is essentially an ungulate nerd's (like myself) heaven, would choose to depart with so many in such a short period

I know this is a stretch but until the early 2010s I remember they used to hold Llama and (Hybrid?) Dromedary Camels to name a couple.
 
Visited yesterday for the first time since the new work on houses and lodges started.

- Saw the Hippos being active for the first time instead of just resting
- Only one waterbuck spotted
- Two male philippine spotted deer were free roaming in the 2nd asian reserve (with the banteng) while the females were still in their paddock in the 1st reserve
- most of the lodges were occupied towards the end of the day
- close viewing of giraffes from the new trail (though it is quite a long walk)
- saw the sea lion show for the first time
- very few penguins visible in their exhibit
- saw a grevy's zebra isolated in an enclosure between the new giraffe house/trail and the safari academy

I'm confused too - I'm not particularly an ungulate fan, but this seems strange.

I would say also them and Knowlsley getting out of Cape Buffalo is a bit... disappointing - how common are they in collections in Mainland Europe? However, I wouldn't rule out Cape Buffalo making a comeback someday - after all, look at spotted hyenas (one zoo in the UK that hadn't bred them in years to four zoos in the UK, one of whom has bred them).
