    Not sure, they never seemed to take to their new enclosure and I never saw them out on their island, now golden-headed lion tamarins are due to move in. I'm hoping the lemurs might reappear at Wild Place but I've no idea.

    I was wondering if there was such a thing as a "gastropod enthusiast"* -now I know.

    In Google Maps, head to Bristol Zoo. Zoom in on "The Lodge" (it's not the Lodge but is labelled as such), go into satellite view, and drop your little Google Street View person just to the right of where it labels The Lodge. Move along the path until you can see the black and white end of the building and look at the bay window upstairs...

    Yes - if you shuffle to the left slightly you can see him more clearly.

    Does anyone know where the Gentle lemurs are? Are they off-show?

    Heading from the gorillas with the otters on your left and gibbons on your right when you get to the end of the boardwalk turn left, you'll find the gentler lemurs they're.
