    Mee too! Not sure where the Cuban hutia are now.

    No no leopards at the moment though it looks ready for them. The plan was to keep Dende and Milena together until Sayan has finished his quarintine period but this may have changed.

    Sayan arrived on 8th June so his quarentine should be over now.

    Could be. Dende was still there with Milena and Sayan was next to the buffy headed capuchins. Any idea anyone as to where Dende may be moved to?

    Purely a guess but Cotswold WP have a fairly modern exibit that only house's one elderly male at present. If they have the space to keep them seperate then he could possibly go there. I can't see them moving a non breeding male out of the UK without good reason.

    Cotswold may be going out of keeping Amur Leopard in the near future!!

    I hope they soon introduce them to their new enclosure!

    Don't think this has been posted elsewhere, but apologies if it has. From Colchester's website:

    Will try to spot him/her at the weekend and get a photo hopefully.

    My 6 year old daughter adopted Junior for Xmas and is therefore most excited by this news !
