It's been like a mad house...
Welcome to chimp chat!!
You wouldn’t believe how much work has gone on over here in chimp world at Monarto Zoo...
The exhibit is in its very last stages of completion and everything is being polished up ready for the opening of the chimp area to visitors this weekend!
It’s been like a mad house the last few months, and since we managed to get the two male chimpanzees “Sandali” and “Tsotsi” to live together happily, life has been a lot happier for them and for the keepers!
Giant Panda Trip - 10th May
Today the Panda Reserve generously gave us a mini-bus and a driver to go out sightseeing. Whilst driving in the mountains it amazed me how you could just stop the car wherever you liked to get out and take photos. No one looked at you sideways, they just happily drove around you when the coast was clear (or not in some cases!). It would be similar to getting out of your car on the way up to Mount Lofty. I couldn’t help but imagine the abuse you would get and the traffic chaos you would cause in Australia.
Panda Countdown is On!
