    Saki monkeys, black-tailed marmosets and probably dwarf mongoose for the extension and Owston's Palm civets for the existing site. Hopefully you'll be able to come and see our new extension if you haven't had the chance yet :)

    Shaldon's resident 4.0 Red Ruffed Lemurs are due to transfer to Avifauna shortly. They will be replaced by 2.0 unrelated males who came from Koln this week and some new females who will arrive once the current males have left..

    Margay and Javan mouse deer

    Hi there -

    The pair of Margay were both from Artis Zoo in the Netherlands (Male born at Port Lympne, female at Artis) and the female Mouse deer came from Newquay, the male from Paignton.

    Many thanks for that information. As you probably know, Shaldon have got a very good history of breeding Mouse Deer.
