Tierpark Hagenbeck Hamburg Zoo

An albino south-American fur seal was born:
Albino-Seebärenbaby im Tierpark Hagenbeck geboren - WELT

I wonder if it will end the same as the one in Dortmund years ago that died at less then two years of age.

The albino fur seal got her name: Elsa. Wich comes from "elischaba" wich means "devoted to god" in Hebrew. Elsa is also a common first name in Germany, mainly because of de disney movie "Frozen".
 
To bring some new hard-needed fresh blood in the European North-China leopard-population Hagenbeck has imported 2 males from the Zoo of Seoul ( South-Korea ).
One of the males will stay in Hamburg, the other will be send to a collection in Danmark :).
Do you know where the Seoul Zoo North China leopard Panthera pardus japonensis (versus Amur leopard P. p. orientalis) originated from (founding stock from China)? Which zoo in PR China?

I believe the North China leopards of Seoul Zoo were originated from Harbin Zoo. If my memories and remaining news articles(Korean) are accurate, the species were imported from Harbin around year 2005-2006, and bred sometimes as well.
 
Tierpark Hagenbeck reports today that on February 19, 16-year-old Walrus Raisa has passed away. Raisa arrived in Hamburg in 2015 after an exchange with Dolfinarium Harderwijk. Despite several matings with the bull Odin, she never became pregnant herself. But with the youngest addition to the group, Fiete, she had taken on a sort of aunt role.

The autopsy showed that she died of heart failure, a pathological examination also found chronic damage to the heart. Further investigations are still underway.
 
Walrus in Hamburg. Does anyone know if Hamburg would have held Walrus back in 1969?
