After her triumphant return to display, Leela has had some problems with utilising the branches in the Discovery Centre enclosure. It appears that she is beginning to show her age, and what was once an easy climb is now quite a task. Her issue appears to be with the width of the branches. Although she has little difficulty negotiating thinner branches which she can wrap her feet around, she now finds the wider branches hard going. We will now seek out some large 'Leela friendly' branches which hopefully will allow her to return to the Discovery Centre enclosure.
In the meantime Leon, the male Veiled Chameleon, is making his debut on display in the new Discovery Centre exhibit. He has acclimatised very well, and like his counterpart Leela, has visitors totally captivated.
