hi all been to park today lions look fantastic just wondering if anyone knows when the new zebra arrived and is it a female tiger encloser coming on nicely lots of work going on
it looked like it was a female i was shocked to see her thought i was dreaming at first but no there is def three zebras again
I think I have chosen the completey wrong thread but....where did longleats ostrich called Honey go?Also , Where did Gavin and Stacey come from?Have a friend who knows about Longleat?
Its interesting what a change of location can do. The original pair of Zebras lived at Cricket St Thomas for many years- apparently with no breeding, but quite happily. Then they are moved up to Yorkshire, breed a foal but then the female gets killed by the male(?) Is the new one a female, or another spare male? Ideally they need two or three mares for a stallion, but its not that easy to find available(Chapman's)females at the drop of a hat.
I thought it might be another male... They are probably more able to build a small group if they take just spare males.
Its often very difficult when you are faced with the actual animals in the Zoo, and nobody around to ask the details about them. Often easier to extrapolate the facts from on here.
well they've submitted an application to doncaster council for an amur lepard enclosure with 10 metre high climding frame. Located just infront of the tigers. It says they're introducing 3 leopards to the park.
