Very encouraging. Nothing like a really big troop of monkeys(macaques) to make a decent display. Whipsnade will not have had monkeys in this sort...
This was 'Saleh', the 2nd male they kept on who grew into an adult at the zoo. I seem to remember there was a female with him at some stage also.
That is a respectable sized group to start with, I wonder where the four more are coming from...
It was in 'World Zoo News' facebook page. Showed a large hatched area that was being discussed...

This week three gorillas are arriving at Fasano Zoo from Rotterdam in Netherlands- two females and a youngish (9 years) male. The idea was to give...

I do agree with that last statement. The faster they get the Gorilla accomodation started and finished and move them over there the better. And...

The pool does seem enormous now though...
Stone Curlew or ordinary Curlew?
The whole reason they were planned to go to Fasano was to try and breed from Riu. I have no information that he isn't still there...
