    Well in the last year or so they have added some more birds to the collection so maybe more are on their way. At least a new aviary is being built.

    Hi there, Jasiri was born in 2007 at Linton Zoo and went to Combe Martin Wildlife Park at 8 months old with his brothers Lenny and Leo (however he was known by the name of Samson).

    Unfortunately he was pushed out by his 2 brothers and so in 2012 he moved down to Newquay Zoo (still known as Samson). He was there for a couple of years but then fell out with the female lion that he was in with and so early 2015 he made the move to Dartmoor who changed his name back to his original birth name of Jasiri.

    Hope that helps :)

    Wicksteed is not a zoo
    For those without facebook, or cant follow the link, it's a box that could hold something the size of coatis; I'm using that as an example only because it is that someone in their comments is suggesting. The contents will be revealed Monday 4pm

    It says 'some new arrivals'... Wouldn't be surprised if the new arrivals are Bush dogs (as they are becoming more and more popular around the zoos of the UK)
