Are they a parthenogenetic species as they’re all listed as female?
They can reproduce either sexually or parthenogenetically.
Whereabouts can I find it? Is Whipsnade included too?

They are linked in the "Animals" section of the websites (under "What's Here") for both London and Whipsnade.

The most minor of things, but preferred it when they listed them in loose taxonomic groups rather than alphabetically. Easy way to parse how many e.g. primate species were present and the like.
I agree: the Animal Inventory was more useful, and easier to use, when the species were listed taxonomically rather than in alphabetical sequence.
More importantly, I wish the ZSL would revert to the more informative seven column format for the inventory, listing number of arrivals, births, departures, deaths e.t.c )
Why can’t I find the 2025 stock list?
Its listed as full species register document.
I’ll have another try
I think the first announcement of the new otter pups is included in this article

Not yet seen them integrated together although on my visits. They do seem to rotate which of the linked indoor/outdoor enclosures the groups have so all should be familiar with the all the areas.
Did they ever replace the Sengi? Priscilla was mine and my partners favourite animal at the zoo and we used to watch her for ages as everyone else walked by trying to spot the sloths or primates.
The enclosure was covered over when I was last there in December.

I haven’t heard anything to suggest a replacement sadly.
Short summary of a visit last Thursday:
- It was great to see the Zebras, Giraffes and Ostriches sharing the same area, all out and about
- The Warthogs are currently enjoying a temporary change of scenery in what was the Hunting Dogs area while the warthog enclosure is refitted.
- Red-cowled cardinal bird seen in the Rainforest Kingdom
- Amara the pygmy hippo was out and active. The keepers said she has a potential mate lined up to arrive in the future but he's currently very young (like a medieval betrothal!)
