Giraffes to return to Blackpool Zoo!
04-02-2008
Yes, it's true!!! Personally I'm not sure where they will fit in and whether there is really room for such big animals... hmmm, time will tell! Here is an extract from the latest news update on the Blackpool Zoo website:
I did mention the magic word - giraffes - earlier, and yes, they are returning to Blackpool Zoo after about 10 years. A new house will be built on the south side of the zoo, so, apologies for the disruption, but it will be worth it. We're all very excited, so watch this space for more news of their arrival. Other developments mentioned are a new jungle-themed play barn and improvements to the car park, no mention of any other new additions to the animal collection yet sadly. |

That is good news, I hope they can get a pure group and not more hybrids.

Which is the south side, down where the paddocks are? I hope they make a good job of it, a mixed species enclosure would be nice.

That's right Chris. Only one third of the available land at Blackpool has been developed. I assume the giraffes will go somewhere behind the vicuna and sitatunga.

If what i was told a few years ago is true the new giraffe house has been built on the spare land at the bottom of the tiger enclosure as for if they are getting pure that was the plan then as they owned a pair of Roths that were on breeding loan at another collection at the time.

I hope this rumour isn't true - although I suppose if someone with really good ideas and lots of money took it on, then it could be for the best. However, the bringing in of giraffes along with other changes, would make selling the zoo now seem a rather odd move.
Despite it getting criticised a fair bit, I do like Blackpool Zoo and I think they're brought in some good new animals in the last few years. Good luck to them I say! |

Do you know where the aardvarks will be going, and are they to be shown in a nocturnal display? Are there any specific plans for the sealions - new exhinit or refurbed old exhibit? I would presume a new penguin exhibit located nearby? |
