Last Drill at the Zoo

Male 'Rourke', still at Bristol awaiting move to Spain I believe. He's not very impressive for a male Drill, being rather spindly and not very colourful for an adult male.

He looks very sad in this inclosure.

@Luke da Zoo nerd I think it was just his position in this photo. He was moving around quite normally otherwise.

@Pertinax Where in Spain will he be moved? Barcelona I hope! The male there passed away recently, and there has been a group of four females waiting for a new male for about a year now.

@JigerofLemuria Yes, I believe Barcelona was mentioned- at least he'll get another group when he does leave Bristol. His surviving female(the other one died) and two daughters were moved to another zoo(Fota in Ireland) leaving him alone until he is moved also, as the zoo is no longer going to keep them.

@Luke da Zoo nerd He must be sitting up there because his inclosure is full of inc

Is this specimen still alive?

@felis silvestris Afaik yes- now in Barcelona.

Ok, how old is he?

@felis silvestris No idea. The Drill studbook might tell you if you can find a recent one.
