    Did Blackpool definitely get Chester's sitatunga because Yorkshire Wildlife Park got a new one, I was told that came from Chester, and their male went elsewhere?

    Both places recieved a male from Chester,as at the moment Chester only has 1 male and that is one that was born at the zoo this year,Chester should be recieving a new breeding male before the end of the year.

    Quick notes from last sunday-

    1) Green Anaconda moved to one of the monitor enclosures and the monitors moved out.
    2) No sign of the baby white-faced saki.
    3) Cotton top tamarin and geoffreys marmoset have swapped enclosures.
    4) The three baby capybara are doing very well. :)
