Hard to see much from the tiny photo, but you can make out the enclosures for birds and snow leopards. Seems like most of the money will go on the restaurant, gift shop and visitor facilities.

So, if she was inseminated in August .. it would now be time for the result

But on the issue: why if you seriously go for AI and wish to breed your elephants .. why not be bold and try for all 3 cows. If the elder cows Tonzi and Minbu are not brought out to a bull shortly, it will be another great waste story for Twycross Zoo (as is the case with gorillas too)

This is all just so stupid, and the elephants are being denied the opportunity to breed normally, or socialise with a male, as a result.... Its been going on far too long now
