Another article about the tiger cubs (and showing Sali as a cub herself!): https://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/a/25632096/former-perth-zoo-tiger-gives-birth/

Hamilton Zoo's Cotton Top Tamarins have moved from their old enclosure in the Rainforest to Parrot Court. https://www.facebook.com/HamiltonZooNZ
Its good that the tamarins are out of the glasshouse they were in, it was very small for them. And the enclosure in Parrot Court should be ideal for them - its just a shame that their introduction (and that of the pygmy marmosets earlier) probably means Parrot Court now just has 3-4 aviaries and a smaller number of exotic birds.
Hamilton Zoo has a new Map. https://www.facebook.com/HamiltonZooNZ/photos/pcb.385231688321820/385231161655206/?type=1 On the map it shows that there are no longer any Wild Dogs in the Savanna Area. And that there is another Siamang enclosure behind the Wallabies, is this a new enclosure?
Is there a new Siamang exhibit now? Where the fallow deer/surplus blackbuck were? Or is this where a new one will be constructed? I doubt they would split up the retired pair they have, but they haven't recieved any more (that I know of), so why two logos on the map?
the young male at Willowbank is going to Auckland soon, so perhaps one or both of Auckland's are moving to Hamilton? Just a guess.
Interesting. Auckland don't have room (on-display) for a third, so its possible one/both are moving on. It would be a big undertaking for Hamilton to build a new exhibit on that paddock, but the way its set up already allows good elevated viewing which would be good for a siamang exhibit.
Visited Hamilton Zoo today and there is no sign of anything happening behind the Wallabies and the Siamangs were still in their enclosure next to the Fishing Cat. Also the Hunting Dogs are still in the Savanna even though on the new map it shows Goats.
