    I read that both Tigers have left. Replacements due or no more tigers at Belfast?

    Update from facebook :

    "Kabus was born in Chessington Zoo on 20 February 2008 and arrived at Belfast Zoo in 2009. He recently moved to NaturZoo Rheine in Germany to live in a newly developed enclosure with a female cat. Kinabalu was born in Fuengirola Zoo on 2 July 2007 and arrived at Belfast Zoo in November 2010. She moved to Le Pal Zoo in France, where she too will join a breeding male. "

    No mention of any replacement Tiger's or other species.

    I just went onto Belfast zoo's website today and noticed that they no longer mention having fossa. The last I heard from my visit this year was that they had an elderly female (who, according to the keeper I met, was 21 years old). Does anyone know if she passed away?
