    Kesho has Klinefelter's Syndrome making him infertile, which is why ZSL moved him out. I don't know how it affects his behaviour though- I guess you will need to watch...;)

    I did try to link it directly to the Longleat listing but it didn't work out quite that way... :p

    Anyone able to shed any light on why Longleat got rid of the Ray exhibit and went for the crocodiles instead? I assume the sea horses are also gone?

    I don't mind the new series but agree with them glossing over a lot of the details and changes in the park.

    Unfortunately this list isn't up to date does anyone know the 2019 stock intake/inventory for Longleat. I can find London, Whipsnade and Marwells inventory but none others in the UK.

    Really enjoyed this morning's episode about the hand reared cheetah and the colobus monkey's.

    See the cheetah story was interesting and other than maybe an update it will be left like that.

    The first week was horrendous with repeating stories. In fact I would say this was probably the best episode overall.

    They said it's similar to Asperger's syndrome. He needs extra time to process information, struggles with unexpected situations and hates noise.

    Amur Tiger, Soundari (the last of the trio of sisters) has died following her cancer diagnosis earlier in the year. She was born at Mulhouse in 2005 and moved to Longleat in November 2006.

    Does this mean Longleat is out of tigers?

    Great. Only saw one tiger when I visited earlier this year.
