Isolated Animals:
Many species are endangered because their homelands have been disturbed,
fragmented and degraded. In all these cases, such animals are often
isolated in small populations, unable to meet other groups of their
own kind. Many animals kept at Twycross and other Zoos are confined
to small populations in the wild. Such species you can see at Twycross
include: Waldrapp Ibis (less than 100 left in the wild), Golden
Lion Tamarin (around 800 left in the wild), Bonobo (around 15 000
left in the wild) and the Asian Lion (around 300 left in the wild).
