Paignton Zoo Paignton Mammal List

PAIGNTON'S MAMMALS

I've compiled a current list of the zoo's on show (as far as I know) mammals. It might be interesting to watch developments in the coming months, in view of the TB situation. Some are defined as 'unsexed' because I haven't been able to say one way or another. They are listed in a completely unscientific way!

63 Baboons according to the keeper the other day (which included the 3 days old baby at the time).

There were at least 4 Kangaroo's the other day, no idea what sex though.

Also there is only one Red Panda, the female has died.

 

I'm probably wrong, but is it not 1.2 Asiatic Lions?

 

Thanks. I was going to put >4 for the kangaroos but decided not to as there was no sign of them yesterday. I did assume there were still two red pandas. Never assume!

The lions are father, son and daughter.

 

Only 2 cusimanse? A bloody shame! Thanks for taking the time out for making this (very depressing) list.

 

I've just realised that I omitted the king colobus. So additions/amendments so far are:

Baboon, Hamadryas 0.0.63
Kangaroo, Western grey 0.0.4+
King colobus 2.2
Red panda 1.0

 

I saw 7 kangaroos this morning.

 

Update on my list:

Mandrill 2.5

 

Rajang21 has kindly pointed out that I omitted the Meerkats and that there's a Hazel dormouse on show. So, additions are:

Dormouse, hazel 0.1
Meerkat, slender-tailed 0.0.9

 

@Rajang21 Where is the dormouse? I have visited multiple times and never seen a cage for it.

 

The dormouse is in a small enclosure outside the Monkey Heights kitchen, on the elevated viewing area that looks over the mangabey enclosure. Obviously it's very rarely visible.

 

Update:

Goat, domestic 1.0
(RIP Greg, the goat with the wonky jaw)

 

Gigit - any update on Kangaroo numbers? Also, the food whiteboard in the mammal food prep area still has tree shrew on it?

 

I haven't managed to get as far as the Kangaroos this week and last week the gate to their enclosure was locked. I only counted the on show mammals - it looks as though the tree shrews could be hidden away somewhere then.

 

Update:

Hedgehog tenrec, lesser 0.0.3
(in the newly opened Nocturnal House)

 

Update:

Following their birth a couple of weeks ago (and hoping I'm not tempting fate)
Lemur, red-ruffed 1.1.2

There has been no announcement from the zoo, but I've noticed that Richard, the last White-faced saki monkey hasn't been around for a few weeks and today his sign had gone. Also, only one Bongo has been on show for a while. So, as my list concerns mammals on show:

Bongo, Eastern 0.1
Saki, white-faced 0.0

 

Allen's swamp monkey: Not only is there no sign of Swoozie, but there is no sign on her empty and closed house. I fear the end of an era

Monkey, Allen's swamp 0.0
