Otters - the boy is from Singapore, the girl from Mogo and they're getting on very well.
Guinea pigs - we were advised that they would oust the rats, so we bought a same sex pair. Didn't work. So we thought a breeding pair would be more territorial and kick the rats out. The inevitable happened. And happened. And happened. In the end we gave them all away to a good home.
When I was at Adelaide Zoo last year, the serval caught a poor blue-tongue lizard that made the mistake of taking a shortcut through the exhibit. The keepers were so proud.
Our keepers often find the remains of possums in the morning. Often in unexpected places, such as the Red Panda exhibit.
