ZooChat Challenge UK 2018

Following further suggestions and as neither Zia or myself have counted them, perhaps better if the Lovebirds at PWP are not allowed?

Agreed, that would seem the sensible conclusion unless anything further/conclusive comes to light.

ZTL is hopelessly out of date for this zoo anyway! Pallas's cat,Puma, Siberian Lynx, Raccoon Dog, Coati all gone, just for a start!

Wow, whilst I can remember Coati, Lynx (and possibly Pallas Cat and Raccoon Dog) I really can't remember ever seeing Puma there in various visits over a decade or so. Anyone know when they last held any?

2011 I think - they had a hand raise puma called Yazhi. I believe she was in the area that the ocelot now is and definitely was wearing a collar when we saw her. She moved to the Big Cat Sanctuary aged about 2. What happened afer that I don't know.
