I am going to visit London zoo tomorrow (fingers crossed) and I haven't been in a while. I was wondering where to find the following animals. Many of them I know where they are approximately, but not precisely... Aye-aye, Cape hyrax, Common water-rat, Goodfellow's tree kangaroo, Lesser hedgehog tenrec, Moholi bushbaby, Naked mole-rat, Narrow-striped mongoose, Kikuyu guereza, Potto, Red duiker, Reeves' muntjac, Rodriguez flying fox, Round-eared elephant shrew, Seba's short-tailed bat, Serval, Swinhoe's striped squirrel. Where are they in the zoo? I guess the following animals are in the Rainforest house somewhere... Black spider monkey, Goeldi's monkey, Golden lion tamarin, Golden headed lion tamarin, Large hairy armadillo, Malagasy giant jumping rat, Slender loris, Pied tamarin, Coppery titi, Southern tamandua. Could someone tell me if any of those are wrong?
Rainforest house - Aye-Aye (in the ground-floor nocturnal area near the lemurs), Narrow-striped mongoose, Rodriguez flying fox, Black spider monkey, Goeldi's monkey, Golden lion tamarin, Golden headed lion tamarin, Large hairy armadillo, Pied tamarin, Coppery titi, Southern tamandua. Nightlife - Common water-rat (that if if you mean the Australian water rats), Lesser hedgehog tenrec, Moholi bushbaby, Potto, Malagasy giant jumping rat, Slender loris, Seba's short-tailed bat Red duikers are in with the okapi, but I rarely see them Off-show - Cape Hyrax (were in the Casson, which is now closed off), Goodfellow's tree kangaroo (Clore off-show), Round-eared elephant shrew, Serval (can be seen in the animal display) No longer at the zoo (as far as I am aware) - Swinhoe's striped squirrel, Reeve's muntjac It's been a while since my last visit, so some things may have changed recently, but this is how is stood as of a month or so back.
Are the muntjac not in the small Casson paddock opposite the tigers and adjoining the tapirs? I seem to remember seeing them in there over the summer, but they may have gone.
Ah yes, I'd forgotten they moved there! In my head they were still next to Three Island Pond as they were when Land of the Lions opened. I haven't seen them in a while, but if you've seen them they must still be opposite the tigers
Yes, the Reeves' muntjac are still in that enclosure; I saw them there this afternoon. There is no sign up for the muntjac, though, so they'd be easy to miss if you didn't know they were there
Are the armadillos still in the Clore? I thought they moved off show to the Casson but I might be wrong.
Armadillos are offshow, as are the golden lion tamarins. The armadillos haven’t been onshow for close to two years. The last striped squirrel died late last year afaik
Two left for Marwell at least three years ago (at least one is still alive) but there is one confiscated by customs which performs in the super-species show; that's the only way you can see her.
Wasn't it because the tamanduas kept investigating their burrows, which weren't intended for tamandua sized animals?
I think it is the other way round - she is a relatively elderly and placid animal and was stressed by being out on the exhibit (I think she was only there for a matter of a couple of days).
