ZooParc de Beauval Zooparc de Beauval News 2020

Hello does anyone have information on the future development of the zoo?
This park builds new installations every year with this year the dome.
But after ?
We already know that they will build a huge aviary in 2022 but for what species and what facilities?
What can we expect for the future of the zoo?

Yes obviously but these two are going to the dome this year.;)
I was talking about the next few years.

Interesting question. I would guess that they are going to try and replace all thebig cat enclosures with something larger and more suitable in separate themed areas since that is the direction in which they are going right now, with the newest installations being centred around either a biome or a continent. This is, I guess why the bird house is being renovated and why I think the big cats will follow in its footsteps one by one.
Thee big cats have already started to move away, with the lions, cheetahs and snow leoaprds already all gone to a more thematically sensible area of the zoo. However, all the tigers, the leopards, jaguars still remain. I wonder whether the jaguars could have a more immersive and larger exhibit to the left of the Tropical Dome and the leopards and tigers could move down below the Chinese area to start a sort of Indian or Indonesian themed exhibit, or to the right of the Asiatic plains exhibit to carry on from there. That would leave the pumas and the servals. Perhaps both could stay but the pumas exhibit made larger to be made into a sort of Patagonian exhibit. However, this is all theoretical and it is highly unlikely to happen, I just think they might try and disband the big cat area and replace it with a more geographically or biome-themed area. :)

Anyway, the one I think is most likely (but still improbable) is the jaguars around the dome, since there isn't really any other logical place for them unless the whole big cat area is made into a South America area and the big cats are moved elsewhere. I wonder what will be done with the Bird house area. Do we actually know where the new aviary is going to be located?
 
We already know that tigers will move elsewhere, however we do not know where.
One certainty however is that the jaguars will not move from the center of the zoo they will take the place of another species already gone.
The big cats will certainly all move as they go along, but the project that remains fairly secure and the closest to us is this famous aviary of which we do not yet know much.

I hope we get a big South American or Southeast Asian aviary, that would be really cool.

Yes, that would be great, and given it would be near the Dome, which has lots of species from those continenets, we could well. However, I would be surprised if it were a mix of different continents' given their push to make everything more geographically-placed.

So the plan sounds like they're keeping the jaguars and maybe the pumas where they are and moving the rest out. I hope the leopards get moved - I have long felt that they get the short end of the stick, even amongst the big cats at the zoo.
 
Yes apparently we will have a movement of jaguars but still in the historic part of the zoo. However, I think that the pumas will move to a possible North American area.

Antoine have more info on all these projects?

Valentin, I have some but I will not give more than it was put here or on the french forum. It is not necessary to ask always as I give all information when I can.
Moreover, projects at Beauval change each month or day :p
Be patient. There are a lot of other zoos to follow too !
 
Sorry i was asking like that ...
Yes a lot of interesting zoos for sure and knowing Beauval well it is true that there is not a day without a new project.:);)
 
Herbert male manatee from the Paris zoo arrived in Beauval in early March.
Which brings the manatee group to 11 individuals I believe and soon twelve since another birth is planned.
 
The dome nevertheless changed a lot between the plans and the final rendering.
I just rediscovered that the enclosure of the dwarf hippos had to host talapoins and diane cercopitheques.
