I agree - it’s great to learn what happens behind the scenes with these things and about how much preparation work goes into them. It brings the...
This is a really important point that has probably been missed a bit in this discussion: Private zoos are not all the same, and don't all have...
Very logical. And while Adelaide are breeding this species and Melbourne are trying to, then a holder for bachelor males makes sense - and WORZ...
Colobus have actually been in the plans but I'm not sure if they are still in the latest version of the plans. Of course they are the logical...
No reason you couldn't do both. Personally I think antelope look better in large herds: So I'd prefer a herd of 100 nyala (or blackbuck) than 5...

Heaps of work has been done on that area from your second photo: Some slight hills, rocks and logs - including a stream of rocks in what looks...
I was at WORZ today and I’ve got some minor updates: 1: it’s baby season for the Nyala. Nine females were/are pregnant. Three calves have been...
I’ve spent the past half hour reading some of these risk assessments for various species (just click on the link to each species) and some of...
The mandrill phase out is the most bizarre and illogical of all phaseouts in recent years. Maybe Melbourne or Sydney (or elsewhere) could come to...
