A New African Savannah?

The Christon 'Heart of Africa' development, which started in 2022, looks to be very substantial. This £28m, 9 hectare project near the city of Chester, is apparently intended to replicate the African savannah of Uganda and Kenya. It will have 57 African species, including antelopes, giraffes, meerkats, Naked mole rats, ostriches, rhinoceros, vultures and zebras. There will be warming stations for some animals likely to feel the cold  (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cdxqx156r13o). By zoo standards, Christon has a very large area and limits itself to animals from a distinct location. It isn't, however, anything like the African savannah. The area is, by African standards, miniscule. There's no possibility of large-scale migrations. No big predators (e.g. lions, cheetahs, hyenas etc.) are, for obvious reasons, included. There will, consequently, be no natural population control. Humans will be in charge. Having said all this, it does seem an interesting development.
