    I found:
    Strider (M) (Hybrid) (16)
    Henry (M) (Hybrid) (14)

    Faida (F) (Rothschild) (10)
    Rufus (M) (Rothschild) (8)
    Arusha (F) (Rothschild) (?)
    Bwindi (F) (Rothschild) (8)
    Akacia (F) (Rothschild) (7)

    Embu, Emali, Fennessy and Gerald are the calves born to Rufus and Arusha/Bwindi/Akacia. To my knowledge Faida has not had a calf and I was unsure of her subspecies having come from Chester, which I think held hybrids at the time she was moved.

    I thought Akacia (Timon x Claudia/China (b. 28/07/2011)) came from Knuthenborg?
    Faida (George x Luna (b. 03/08/2008)) did come from Hannover and Bwindi (Mike x Nancy (b. 19/02/2011)) came from Liberec. (Excuse the locations, I am not sure if they are zoos or geographic areas).

    I have no clue where Akacia came from other than somewhere in the Czech Republic, researching is difficult as I don't even have a date of birth for her.

    Akacia did come from Knuthenborg (Not Givskud). My error

    I don't know about Arusha other than it was definitely a Czech zoo - I'll try and find a studbook

    Edit - Arusha was born on 7th January 2012. Still don't know where

    Thanks for your help, the most recent studbook I have access to is 2011 and even that isn't the best as I don't think its an official one, some of the dates, names and other data is wrong so its a lot of additional research.
