    As was posted in Wingham thread, Evan the Rothschild giraffe died last week. He was 4 years old and born here, does anyone know who his mother was?

    @Bubalus where did you get your information from? I would like to see the website or article that contains the information.

    Kind regards @The Hedgehog

    Zims unfortunately isn't something you can really join as its only for the use of zoo professionals I'm afraid and you would need to be based within a working collection. Takes some training to use as mistakes can easily mess up quite a lot of zoo information

    @Bubalus this is so annoying as I'd love to join. Unfortunately I do not have a job due to many physical and medical problems let alone have a job in a Zoo.

    Sorry to hear this. Yes its a handy tool. Keeps up us to check on current and historical stock records. Most studbook keepers live on it!
