      One of the less graphic photos I took today of Manyara and Sita attempting to mate. The urge was obviously there but not the technique. Manyara tried several times while we were watching but failed to 'hit the target' as it were. He's been here since 2010 and, I believe, is due to be replaced.

      I think what he needs is a change of partners and greater space to add that little bit of extra stimulation which seems to be lacking at present, as he has failed to mate her properly, or at least get a pregnancy, in six years. If he's leaving they must have accepted it ain't going to happen with these two.

      Next stop for him could be Flamingo Park?, or maybe a series of moves will result.

      @Kifaru Bwana Afaik Manyara is still at Paignton with a move (don't know where) still planned.
