    I haven't visited Longleat in a couple of years but hope to go again in the coming weeks.

    I was wondering do Longleat still have Warthog? I remember they got 3 from Colchester Zoo at some point for a drive past enclosure just by the East African Reserve?

    Longleat just keeps on getting better and better. First the hyenas, then the koalas and wombats AND giant otters and cuban crocodiles and now a tree porcupine! I only visited last year and they had none of these species - looks like I'm going to have to visit again very soon...

    Well this is very interesting - thanks for the update Jedd :)

    Is she on show yet / do you know where her enclosure will be? I assume in the same sort of area as the anteaters etc? Also - do you know if the intention is to source a mate / companion for her?

    The video suggests she is on show and in the animal adventure area - you can see the animal handling hall in the background.
