The African Savanna has some new residents roaming around on it. Two beautiful White Storks who go by the names of Sylvia and Maggie and a stunning Waterbuck named Jenny.
The Storks have joined Newquay Zoo from Colchester Zoo and have settled in very well. Head Keeper Sam Harley stated, “They are really impressive birds, standing at around 120cm tall and with a wingspan of nearly 2 metres.” White Storks can be found in many parts of the world in the wild, from Central Europe, to northwest Africa to southwest Asia. During winter they can migrate to South Africa and also to the Indian subcontinent.
Jenny the Waterbuck is six years old and has come from Cricket St Thomas Wildlife Park. Waterbuck are a species of antelope and have a reddish brown coat with a very distinctive white ‘bib’ under their throats and white ring around their rump.
The African Savanna is also home to a number of other animals including; Nyala, Lechwe, Zebra, Grey Crowned Cranes, Ostrich and Wildebeest
