Most of the animals from Tipperary Station ended up at Mary River. They now have breeding herds of Scimitar Oryx, Eland, Kafue Lechwe, Addax and Nilgai. I think they are Kafue species... All of the other animals died - Kudu, Zebra, etc. Not sure about the pygmy hippo - last I heard it was being baby-sat at Tipperary. Mary River has been applying for, but to date (AFAIK) could not get export permits for the African and Indian game but they are not allowed as they are held under zoo licence. They need to start 'hunting' some as they are breeding! esp the Oryx. Must be expensive to keep feeding them.... I have been there - it is pretty cool seeing an eland bull shading himself under a red gum.. Lots of fun taking photos of them.. Cheers Matt |
