I still can't recollect ever having seen them at Port Lympne(i'm not disbelieving MArk, but maybe they weren't there for many years....) I've seen the Water Buffalo there many times. Today there was an earthquake(!!) 4.3 on the Richter scale centred on Folkestone, right near Port Lympne- however the news reports say there wasn't any major damage. Wonder what the animals thought of it though.... |

Let's test Your practical bongo knowledge: what colour of clothing should You NOT wear when getting close to Bongos?
BTW: Congo buffalo & Bongo? Poor bongos; ever heard what happened with the buffalo-mandrill mixed exhibit in San Diego? Think of the final battle of LOTR  Nay, I love bongos; and seeing them thrive after being such a rarity in the first years the species appeared in Zoos makes me rather happy. BTW: Zurich doesn't have bongos... |

Before the DeBrazza's, they had mandrills in with the buffalos. The mandrills got cheeky and bossy, the buffalos got pissed, and well, showed their disapproval by attacking the mandrills. And that's the reason why the better-behaving DeBrazza's are now together with the congo buffalos.

Were the mandrills killed or just injured?
They're in the Monkey tales and Forest trails exhibit now aren't they? |

Depends on the shade of the yellow...
Don't guess, think.

The answer is-white. The question remains: why? Hint: what happens when Touracos take a bath?

When turacos go wet, they can lose the pigment in their feathers can't they?
