One of the only times when zoos are useful....helping to conserve species that are near extinction. Shame he will never know his natural habitat but fantastic news that he was born safely

At least he'll know who his daddy is so he won't end up on Jeremy Kyle. :hee:

...sensational..:lovedup:...his mum has such a beautiful name, Malindi...:love:...one of the meanings ‘gift from God that’s long been awaited’ and he indeed is her gift from God...perfect...


...as Annie said, it’s one of the positives with zoos but I don’t think it will make much difference in the grand scheme of extinction of beautiful species sadly...it’s a little bit of a false hope, type thing...these incredible creatures need to be born into their natural habitat for them truly to continue....he’s totally gorgeous..:love:...

He’ll get a nice blue British passport.

Parents will probs be deported as soon as Theresa hears about it though
