    I know on some forums there is a way to insert a spoiler so that you have to purposely click on to it for it to be revealed.

    I hadn’t seen it used on here before, so I thought I’d try it out and see what happened!

    OK here goes.... do not read this post if you don't want to know what happened!

    *ORANG SPOILER*

    'The arrival of a baby Sumatran orangutan leaves the keepers stumped in the opening episode. Sisters Emma & Subis are both pregnant and one morning Emma is found holding a baby. However, it turns out that she is still pregnant, and has taken on Subis' offspring. Sadly the baby died shortly before Kesuma was born.' That's the exact quote from the magazine - so I would imagine that Subis rejected her baby (probably knowing it has a health problem), then Emma cares for it until it dies. The mystery of the dates has been solved - two babies!

    Just a short walk NORTH from the entrance, not south as the map says.

    A bit of news from the TV show last night, that I can't see mentioned in previous posts, but it might have been, so feel free to point it out if it has.
    You sure you want to press this?
    Stuma the Okapi died during an operation

    The zoo has now confirmed the news on social media that four Pallas Cats have arrived. I assume this means they are now on proper public view?

    A visitor has posted a photo of one of them on facebook, saying that all four were out on show

    Actually, a couple people have, including one of the forum members.

    The vivarium is built into the wall to the right of the Andean Bear indoor viewing Windows. I have a photo from last week, I will upload it to the gallery if someone hasn't already.
