I've never heard anything about extending the safari...

They have brought in two cheetahs however and i guess a new enclosure will be built by summer.

i thinks theres another thread somewhere about west middlands safari park where someone said that the park would be made larger.

I Like west middlands its much better than say Longleat, which to be honest was rather bad.

Two female tigers Khali and Rhani who've been on a 2 year long loan at Chester Zoo returned to the park on 24th September.

Finally, have they had to move any other out to make room for them?

Okay last time i went (summer) they had at least 5ish cheetahs some of which were quite young. they had two amur leopards in the discovery area. the cheetahs are in a drive thru exhibit (there were tow enclosures for the cheetahs), before the african wild dogs.

At last does this mean they have moved on some other Tigers to another poor un-suspecting zoo for them to suddenly take them back.

Isn't there supposed to be a worldwide ban on breeding tigers other than if given permission by the respective breeding programme director. If so WMSP seem to have just ignored it in respect of the number of white tigers they have bred.

Breeding programme directors dont really have a say in what happens in zoos & safari parks. Most will adhere to the recommendation, other will bend the recommendations a little and others will ignore them

That's just it, they are only 'recommendations'. They can't enforce them.
