Can start this thread with the news that the parks Wolverine have produced a single pup: A first breeding in France
 
Last year the park has opened a new african section with pygmy hippopotamuses and western sitatungas.This year will see the construction of a new 1.000 square metres aviary for ibises, herons, storks ans a primate family (the park is choosing between king colobus and roloway monkeys).

Its located in the entry and is an expansion of the northern bald ibis aviary to the cascade "sour le roc". This new exhibition will host King colobus, rock hyrax, white stork, northern bald ibis, glossy ibis, turacos...

The new pygmy hippos is really nice (personally I liked a lot) and the forest environment helps a lot for make a beautiful landscape
