Africa and the Phillipines
30-11-2008
NZ's website has now gone beyond a 'watch this space' box into a full blown page about the two new developments:
Click here. As it turns out, warthogs are also planned to feature in the savannah enclosure, though it doesn't say anything about the Lechwe, Meerkats and Porcupines which are in the current african plains enclosure, soon to be the Phillipines. |

Indeed it is, considering it's one of those ten-acre 'nice' zoos. Seems that Whitley is giving it the push it needs, with the example it'll soon be only one of three UK zoos to keep warty pigs being just one small step.

Sounds like it. Not sure whether it will work out though.

the enclosure isn't massive and i can't see the deer having much to hide behind and can see them curling up in the corner (near the maze) out of sight.

from the video looks like the viewing area is juist below the owls (i realise there isn't anywhere else really for it) i wonder how they will modify the current exhibit for the phillipine animals.
 i'm so exited, i know it isn't the biggest or best exhibit but its my own little special zoo and i love it (hence my excitement)

If you heard the man correctly the Alfred's deer and Negros warty pigs are already at Newquay ...
Any speculation as to source: deer ex Chester and pigs ex Rotterdam?
