I care - and I guess the other teachers and ex-teachers on the board care too. It's not that we particularly want to care, but you can't change the habits of a lifetime

Cheetah cubs are now back on show
BBC News - Chester Zoo cheetah has operation for a broken ankle

12-05-2012

That's good news are they in the large enclosure?

12-05-2012

According to the video, as of today they were in the exhibit towards the bridge (one along from the yurt enclosure they were initially kept in)

Not the far one housing the adults males

I saw the cheetah cubs today - they looked fine and I saw no sign of a limp in either (although one didn't do a great deal of walking while I was watching). They were in the enclosure on the right of the bridge if you start from the lion/canal end.
Nothing else very new to report, except that I saw at least four lesser kudu beside the roan antelope. They are confined to the hard-standing at the moment and almost completely screened by hessian, except for a missing section viewable through the Stanley crane enclosure (as shown in the photo that Javan Rhino posted a couple of weeks ago).

Two notes from today.

All signage has been removed from the inside of the Tsavo Rhino House. Also something is being constructed outside of Junes Pavilion.

14-05-2012

The signage in Tsavo has been removed for a while as Sammy and Kitani were moved off-show and the new pair were moved on-show.

14-05-2012

On Facebook, I recently saw a photo of two Roan Antelope calves has the Zoo bred another calf or did they breed two last year?

14-05-2012

Do you have a date for the signs been removed,as they were still there 2 weeks ago which isn't really that long ago!

14-05-2012

The ID boards were removed before the 31st March as they weren't there when I visited.
