Yes, or a lesser kudu; but I'll go with your idea, it probably has more sense in it.

I ruled out the kudu Jonathon because they are lighter in colour, but what baffles me is the photographer, taking a pic of a rabbit, when there are all these magnificent antelope and zebra on the plains exhibit?

Hang on..........if edinburgh is looking to go into patagonian sealions and the remaining 2 californians were going to emmen, then why did blackpool send their 3 year old sealion (californian) 'Arnie' to edinburgh a few weeks ago? Can anyone clear this up?

The exhibit 'Living Links' has been opened to the public. The offical opening is on 20th of May with Jane Goodall opening it (I have been invited to the opening). Living Links houses 2 mixed groups of Squirrel Monkeys and Capuchin Monkeys.

I got a good look around the Living Links exhibit a fortnight ago. It is a superb set up. The monkeys are not mixed yet. There are also agoutis with one of the groups of squirrel monkeys.

Some titbits from the latest annual report:

1. Living Links cost £1.8million

2. RZSS are developing a proposal for an animal attraction in Glasgow

3. RZSS are reviewing the Edinburgh Zoo masterplan following the council ruling that housing surplus zoo land could not be used for housing.

4. RZSS are going to contest the decision in the public enquiry but the outcome may not be known until the end of 2009.

5. There is a £3.4million fund for development of the Masterplan

6. Visitor numbers -7% at Edinburgh and -2% at HWP. They blame the wet summer

Hey bongo, have the drill and the aye aye moved to the former gorilla house yet?
The monkey house is going to be quite empty now with the drill and aye aye moving out just leaving the guenons and langurs and the yellow fronted capuchin.
