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).
