Here, here! Well said.. You can say the same for virtually every zoo's website nowadays, there's been a huge shift away from reporting anything except the most notable animal news.

Does anyone know what this animal is? It's really bugging me as I thought I knew every animal at Chester!

I don't think so. It looks sort of foxy but the only canines they have at the zoo now are bush dogs and it's not one of those

I agree that it's a red panda.

Has to be a red mammal. The zoo only has pandas, hogs, orangs and lechwe that into this slot.

I did think of red panda but I'm not so sure. Perhaps there is quite a bit of individual variation in facial markings but it doesn't really match up with this one

Actually I think you win the jelly bean as I've had a further look at the site and it does look like a red panda

The picture from which the image was taken was printed in Z number 27, Autumn 2006. It is a red panda. I just found it while looking for something else.
