      Rather plump female! New calf on the way?

      How many at Whipsnade now?

      One male and two females; the male being off-exhibit.

      There are just the two of them. I was so pleased to be able to get both in one picture!

      Ah right, of course. Is the male in one of the paddocks within the passage thru asia? Just off to the right as you enter?

      I have seen the male onager there before (i.e. behind the nilgai paddock) but, on my visit last weekend, I caught a glimpse of him behind the impala and kudu enclosure.

      Very nice photo by the way.

      Ah ok, I will have a look next time I go.

      Cheers as well!

      They both look gravid/heavily in foal to me.

      I suspect the male is kept seperate as wild ass males can often be quite aggressive with their females.

      Quite a while ago now the Onager and Przewalski's horse swapped paddocks, any idea as to why they did swap around?
