Chester Zoo Chester Zoo 2016 #3

The lizards in the smaller vivarium are Takydromus sexlineatus , six-lined grass lizards.

 

Tsavo House as you mentioned has Kitani and Magadi in. Gabe and Ema Elsa are in the paddock nearest to the Tsavo walk-through aviary. In the old rhino house, with the warthogs behind has the 2012/2013 calves Chanua, Dakima and Embu (The one with only part of his front horn) and in the off-show house (Tsavo 2) that houses Kifaru II, Malindi and Zuri. I saw all 10 of them on Saturday.

 

What species???

 

The original concept was for species whose range was on the edge of europe.

KT and her daughter are staying where they are for the forseeable future.

 

They are the common or yellow digger.

 

Ah ok, so saw all but Ema-Elsa and Gabe then. Thanks MG! Do they have plans to send the 2012/13 calves to other collections or to breed them perhaps? There's a transport crate outside their house so maybe the former...?

 

The only one I know of is Chanua going to Flamingo Land.

 

I overheard a member of staff say they were due around December

 

Is KT not in with Adaeze? Because both days we could only count five which correlates with the number the website says they have? (To be honest I was wondering where KT's two adult cubs were...)

 

Visited yesterday.
Does anyone know what's going into the Wrinkled Hornbill aviary in Tropical Realm, now that they have moved into the Elephant House aviary?
Saw more Mountain Chickens than I ever have. Apparently there are 15 in the Dragons in Danger exhibit!
There are 2 European Black Vultures in Edge of Europe. Is this a recent development, as only noticed 1 on visits last year & earlier this year?
Saw the Sun Bear in the savannah side of Spirit of the Jaguar, but no sign of the other one in the former Tiger enclosure. All signage had been removed & the window to the indoor quarters had been boarded up. Admittedly, it was quite late in the day by the time I got to that part of the zoo...

 

Toni was definitely in the old tiger enclosure when I visited two days ago. Maybe he's been moved into the offshow dens of their temporary enclosure to get adjusted.

 

Toni is in the outside enclosure of the Savanah side of the Jags, was moved yesterday morning and by lunch time was being filmed by blast climbing the largest tree to the front of the enclosure viewing.

I do not know what is going into the empty aviary.

a male cinereous vulture arrived during 2015. The zoo hope to breed from the new pair.

 

Is there still brazilian tapir?

 

Indeed, next door to the spectacled bears and opposite the capybaras there lives a family of three
