Aww that lil guy is so cute.. I tried to have a look the other day and though it was because it was night that I couldnt see anything.
However, just realised that you need a plugin for Firefox. I opened it in IE and it works fine :)

What action there is when he's in the box seems to be totally uncoordinated :silly:.....no doubt he can't see yet.

I seem to be missing Windows Media Centre codec support, whatever that is.... :-\

edit: Oh, yes I can when I switch to IE.

What do you do with the last surviving animal of a species. What a responsibility on the zoo staff.

The manual install for the Firefox plug in takes you to this site..

Is this a genuine link to download and install the missing plug in?

To be honest, unkyUb, I am not really clear on what plug-in is required............but according to my little in built site-scanner, that seems to be a genuine site.

May go on Thursday if they are still open and public can see the cub.

Links working here IE6, yes six.
