The building was built in 1933, and binturong, is spelt like that.

The aye-aye house was closed last week. The sign on the door said that it was for the introduction of a new breeding pair. Does anyone know anything about this?

I would expect they have waited some years to either replace one or both of their pair, as the male was always nervous of the older female. I know they refurbished the exhibit this year, hopefully the new pairing will result in London breeding this species.
