    Wicksteed is not a zoo
    Visited today, but did not photograph the 'orangutan' enclosure. The outdoors looks finished, with lots of lovely blue ropes and fake trees for people to moan about :D It's only now that I realised that it is for orangs, having checked out the gallery and I did wonder at the time where the indoor area for the intended species was.

    Two male Bornean orangutans have arrived. They are Belayan and Dyak, half brothers from Beauval Zoo, France

    Interesting that they're housing three males. I'm guessing it must be quite a large facility.

    Does anyone know when the giraffe will arrive and if they will share their exhibit.
