Vets at Chester Zoo treat an elephant calf for the herpes virus, keepers pursue a runaway macaw, and a pregnant antelope's behaviour causes concern.
It’s easy to ignore the smaller animals that are in just as serious trouble as the big endangered species, so Chester Zoo’s breeding programme is very important. They’ve successfully increased their colony of chocolate poison-dart frogs, thanks to the efforts of Roy. But he’s gone off the boil recently so a young male is introduced to reignite the action.
The keepers are also hopeful about the future of their pair of dusky pademelons (marsupials), speculating that “shy” Kai has impregnated Styx. However, in the macaques’ pen there’s equal delight and concern about a new baby. The excitable females can get quite vicious when handling a youngster.
