ZSL London Zoo ZSL London Zoo News 2017

I'll be visiting tomorrow, does anyone want photos of anything specific / anything investigating?
 
They were in the Vulture Aviaries last time I was there. Shame if they've gone, one of the few remaining interesting species left!!

On another point, should the Annual Review for 2016 have been posted by now?

Probably not, as the AGM wasn't held in June this year, from now on it will be later in the year. December I think
 
Yes Woolly Neck Storks are in the Vulture Aviary nearest the fellows and members lawn.
Believe there are 3 , two adults plus this year's youngster.

A bloody nice species; it is a shame they are not more common in UK collections, or in European collections in general.
 
Many thanks Tennisfan for the info they are in the last aviary are they as when I visited a couple of weeks back there was only one so was wondering if they had gone as not on Ztl.
I agree with TeaLovingDave a species very much under represented in collections.

they are on Zootierliste. You need to look at Asian Woolly-necked Stork, not Woolly-necked Stork.

The African subspecies - now held in only a single European collection - is also very nice :) the Indonesian subspecies is no longer present in Europe.

utter joke! These people have no concern for animal wellbeing. Just like English heritage who wanted the penguins back in the old penguin pool!

There's no real animal welfare issue here. If the development doesn't happen it will remain an aviary, which is good for birds, and the colobus will still have their current enclosure, which is fine.
 
Am I right in presuming if it goes ahead that there would be a covered mesh or glass tunnel along the visitor walkway rather than people having direct contact with Colobus monkeys?

ZSL London Zoo has received approval from Westminster Council on its planning application for its Snowdon Aviary to receive a bold new makeover.
 
I don't know if it has been mentioned before, but four juvenile Galapagos giant tortoises have recently arrived at the zoo - they are named Isabela, Santiago, Cruz and Cristobal.

A video of the new arrivals is on the ZSL London Facebook page.
