Woburn ! » Woburn Safari Park

I posted a photo of the three Woburn elephants in their paddock last September/October. You can see the construction of the new building in the top left corner... It is quite a large building- despite them not getting the funding for the original larger complex they had planned. I believe the intention is to add up to ten more females(or is it ten in total?) to the existing trio. New paddocks will attatch to the building.

Cottoni- Have the current elephants moved into the new building yet?

As iv'e already said, they moved in the new house last week. it is not esay to get informations 'cause I'm on the lion section.

The house was supposed to be bigger yes but it is very huge compared to what we can see in France ! regardring the ten animals, I have no idea.

Why do you not breed the bears?

17-03-2008

sorry, I missed that bit of information. I read somewhere they are planning to get a lot more elephants- this building is certainly big enough to hold quite a number.

Problems with finding homes for the cubs?

17-03-2008

I'll have some

I went to Woburn last autumn and I thought the Black Bears(and wolves) were actually the best of the carnivore reserves- the bears in particular being were very visible. A pity they can't breed from them as other Safari parks might be interested in setting up a similar rerserve.

Actually, i can't answer your questions... It is like that and I have nothing to say about that...

For the elephant house, probably big enough for 6 or 7...not more!

Does it have several seperate stalls, or one large area- or(most likely) both?

Can it accomodate one bull or two?

I am not a elephant addict and I don't really know their behaviour. To my opinion, this house can't have 2 bull.

The house has 1 big space and 4 small around. With protective contact wall.

I am not sure this house can have 10 individuals.

Now that ISIS has caught up i see that Woburn now have 3 male Mhorr gazelle, would they be the remaining males from Twycross, as they are showing having none.

Hello, Im off for few days, I will ask my colleagues from antelopes as soon as I'll be back.

Mhorr gazelle and Somali wild ass, Woburn are moving further and further from your typical safari park, the collection is really coming together.

One leads to that conclusion. It is still impossible to transfer ungulates continent-wise or has the ban been lifted (e.g. Paignton giraffe fracas)?

Actually it still is very much a typical Safari Park. For some reason they have aquired a few more unusual species which are displayed in seperate enclosures, not in the reserves. I imagine most people just drive past without really noticing them though. I am not sure what the policy(if there is one) behind having these extra species is though.
