Actually, Maned Wolves will stay wary of the anteaters, which hence leads to the anteaters being fairly excepting of the wolves. There's even zoos that mix the said species' and tapirs together.

Edinburgh's maned wolves are obviously related to the invisible ones which used to live at Chester Zoo.

Are there any signs of sending the Panay cloudrunners to other zoos yet?
The group stands at 15 (10.4.1) according to ISIS.
I would have thought the proposed new Philippine exhibit at Newquay would be the ideal location for a satellite group of cloudrunners.

The ZooWorld dispalys include Striped Skunk, Alaotran Gentle Lemur, Black-and-White Ruffed Lemur, Meerkat, Greater Galago, Chinchilla, Ferrets and a few more that I either couldn't see as they were roped off or can't remember! They're in the enclosures originally put in for Clore refugees and later used for birds during the bird house redevelopment. I think the Alaotrans have been there since these areas were first opened..?

The Cloud Rats have certainly bred; it'd be nice to see them being shared around a bit.

I saw plenty of alotran gentle Lemurs last week. In fact a keeper was taking a box into one of the ZooWorld enclosures in order to move one. I didn't stay to watch, I've seen this sort of thing many times before. She had quite a crowd of spectators though.

Same part as the skunks, I think it is the south side.

These enclosures were empty in march, I wonder if these small mammal species will actually go into the children's zoo when it opens?
