Longleat Safari & Adventure Park Longleat Safari Park 2021

“ in their new home at The Cornwall College Group’s leading land-based facility“ - Doesn’t this refer to the various branches of The Cornwall College Group? It doesn’t include actual comparisons to other college groups and they’re hardly likely to refer to themselves negatively, are they?

 

Not how I read it but that's why I put 'I think' at the beginning. Seems to be like they are suggesting Bicton is the leading land based studies facility, not their leading land based studies facility. But like I put that's what I think from the article.

 

I 'think' it's suggesting 'a' leading, not 'the' leading. Harmless self-promotion, nothing more.

 

We clearly take it different ways.

 

Saw this on the local news today:

Thousands call on Longleat to free 'the UK's loneliest elephant' | ITV News

 

The Great Unqualified to Judge are at it again

 

Saw this on the Longleat website and they mentioned that the sanctuary people are telling them to send Anne to has no elephants and has never had any. Interesting choice.

 

Ah yes lets send an old frail elephant on a journey like that.... idiots...

 

Some people really believe anything they read Anne is well kept at longleat and it would be unjust to send her on that stressful journey.

 

Another case of "my captivity is better than your captivity"...

 

Is there still tension in the Bachelor Western Lowland Gorilla Group with Evindi? For those of you that may not be aware Evindi wants to over through his eldest Brother Kescho as Lead Silver back? I ask this as a few months ago it was mentioned on Animal Park that if the confrontation continued there would be two options. These two options were being considered as Evindi's dominating behavior is threatening the cohesion of the group. Option one would be keeping Evindi solitary in the rear enclosure as Boulas was prior to his passing. Option two would be more drastic as it would involve moving one of the brothers too a different European Gorilla group.

Could a fellow Zoochatter please answer my question? I would like too know if the tension is still threatening the cohesiveness of the Gorilla Group. I would also like to what if iver brother is being moved to pastures new.

 

Interesting news report this afternoon, longleat appear to be joining Port Lympne and WMSP with African accommodation. 7 different accommodations will be made which were old keepers houses. Will be great to see how they differ from the others !

Here's an update on Anne the Asian Elephant who is doing so well Anne the Elephant Update March 2021

 

I’m new to zoochat but I have a question: does anyone know where the Longleat Rhinos came from and their parentage? I know that Ebun came from Munster and I believe was the daughter of a female named ‘Emmi’, but as for Marashi, Nanju and Razina I have no clue. Thanks
