I work in local government (though not in Cheshire). From what I know, getting planning permission on green belt land is much easier than it's...
I'll be very disappointed if the central garden's flower beds are replaced, they looked amazing when I visited yesterday.
I saw this exhibit for the first time today. It seems very good for the babirusas... they were very active, but this included the female charging...
Visit I was wanting to post this on the 'South Lakes' thread but that's closed so this may seem random in that it's not replying to any of the...
Wow... I didn't realise it could hold that many. Thanks all :)
Does anyone have any idea how many orangs could be held in ROTRA/old building at any one time (keeping in mind the gibbons are in there as well)?
What about the pelicans, have they ever bred?
Haven't the Tuataras been classed as juveniles (not ready for breeding) for the majority of their time at Chester?
Wow! That was out of the blue! Great news though, and lets hope there's a Bornian birth before too long.
I know this is off topic for this particular thread, but following on from the previous comment I think it's a real shame that they've postponed...
I've always liked the newer condor aviary. Are you sure their last breeding was in 1998? I thought they'd bred in the early 2000s.
It's not that long since the meerkats were in the camel house is it? I remember seeing Tapirs in the elephant house - when did they move?
I think my first visit was around 1996/7. I would only have been 9/10 at the time so my memories aren't vast, but the most vivid memory I have...
Who knows, maybe the British Library would be interested in it :)... they seem to hold a very wide range of items.
Oh does Knowsley have them? I can only remember some of the animals they had - it seems an age since I went there.
I'm afraid I don't know the answer to that... I just know they were there. I remember being surprised to see them 'cause I didn't think there...
Yep. Chester's got a very good record of redevelopment, but there's only so much money available and the 'boom time' in the economy is over....
In a way it's not the best period in time to be starting expensive zoo 'masterplans' because the economy is going into rocky waters. This year and...
Yep... West Midlands Safari Park had a good sized herd of wildebeest when I went, though that's a few years ago now. To appease all you Aussies...
Does anyone know how many coatis actually live in the bear enclosure? I think I've only seen literally about three or four at any one time.
