    I was looking forwards to Oumbi's Birthday. In my calendar I had his Birthday on the 28th of June. Looking at it again when I got to the zoo, the sign said 30th of June. OK, I thought I must of put the wrong date into my calendar, but just something didn't sit right with me. Back at home I tried to find an old photo of the Oumbi sign, but unfortunately couldn't find it. Then I found an old post from Twycross Zoo, they did in fact celebrated his Birthday on the 28th of June! Do you know which is correct? As Twycross can't seem to give me an answer.

    Three Studbooks, the official one + two other online ones, give it as 30th June, so I would think that's a given...
