    Feel like there are a lot of changes going on at the moment around the park & wondered if anyone has visited lately. I saw on Facebook today that the lemur enclosure next to the gibbons is under construction and the image on the new one looked like the outline of a cat. Also saw a exmoor zoo keeper commented they knew what was coming soon. Does anyone know of any cats leaving exmoor that it could possibly be? Feel like it would be a great move for the zoo if they do gain a new cat specie since the sad passing of Oz the serval earlier this year.

    New arrival: Northern flying squirrels. They are in the nocturnal house in the old sugar glider enclosure with the gliders moving across into the old palm civet enclosure. Also spotted a baby kinkajou on my last visit.

    Kali a young serval also arrived this week from Exmoor Zoo. The new enclosure is on the main field with the old serval enclosure being adapted for the macaws which previously lived next door with their old enclosure being demolished.
