      These are actually Nilgai, usually described as an antelope (but in truth more closely related to what we'd call cattle than other 'antelopes').
    • Pertinax
      It seems West Midlands and Knowsley have now become the 'caretakers' for this species in the UK- Howletts only have very few and Whipsnade maybe none now.
    • Maguari
      Blackbrook have just gone into the species, so there's hope!
    • Pertinax
      Good and any idea how many they've got? Presumably they came from one or other of these two Safari Parks?
    • Maguari
      If I remember correctly, 1.2 from Knowsley. Hopefully that'll grow with time.
    • Pertinax
      As they often have twins they should be able to build a group quite rapidly.

      I wonder if Knowsley's and West Midlands groups are derived from each other and presumably so both derived from Howletts/PL stock?
