Pleased to hear it @RunrigForever x

The spokesman for the zoo says the public probably won't get to see the cubs until late summer.

Even the keepers keep well away from the mum and babies. Just pushing food and water into a room next to where she gave birth.

WONDER WHAT IS GOING ON? @Cleoriff 

"Feral" pigs have been illegally released in the Cairngorms, the park authority has said.

On Monday, the Cairngorms National Park Authority said the pigs were seen near the Uath Lochans area of the park, and staff attempted to capture the "relatively domesticated" animals.

The authority said they appear to have been illegally abandoned in the park grounds.

 Cairngorms National Park 

"The park authority condemns any illegal release of animals in the strongest possible terms."

Three lynx were illegally released in the park last month, one of which died shortly after they were captured.

I don't understand this @TallTrees 

One time they are talking about 'feral' pigs, then say they are relatively domesticated??!!
It seems to me that people are playing silly games. After the release of the 4 lynx, others are jumping on the bandwagon of releasing other animals.
I have no idea what they are  hoping to achieve. 

[TallTrees]

I agree @Cleoriff 

Games that truly hurt those animals.

Let us hope this is the end of it.

@TallTrees 

They have all been found now but rangers are concerned this will be happening on a regular basis.

That's good @Cleoriff 

Thanks for the update 

I think it will continue too. Let's hope not
