This review seems a little mixed, mentioning that the kiang have left, yet still mentioning Steller's sea eagle and Siberian musk deer??? There is also a photo of Grevy's zebra with 1.3 Nile lechwe, when did lechwe arrive?
The lechwe were there when I visited last week, i don't recall seeing them when I was there at easter time this year though.
This seems like a very rose-tinted view of Edinburgh Zoo - which is good to see! I think the article is happy to overlook many of the zoo's shortcomings, and focus instead on positive matters. I applaud that positivity! The author is worth following on Twitter, for those who do such things.
I saw one Siberian musk deer in the whitson wood enclosure this morning, don't know if it is the only one there?
There is only one, it arrived earlier this year. Though bigger news imo is that the two Bawean Deer have died. ~Thylo
Though bigger news imo is that the two Bawean Deer have died. ~Thylo[/quote] That's an absolute shame. Animal species wise their rarity made them one of the most sought after by enthusiasts I imagine.
When - sometime in the last few months. Why - loss of vital functions In all seriousness, the staff we asked would not be drawn on either matter, nor when the Siberian Musk Deer returned.
