A pretty good news : it looks like the Paris Zoo wants to make some refurbishments into the Grand Rocher to allow visitors to go in. Pay attention : the works will not be done to allow visitors to go up but just to use the indoor ground floor to welcome expositions. They need approximately 900.000 euros to redo the electricity and reinforce the floor slab in this way. They hope to get enough money and start works next year for a opening in 2023.

To get part of the money the Grand Rocher is part of a sort of contest organized by a newspaper and other companies. Fingers crossed it will get a good amount

It is but in a small part.

According to the french forum :
- there are now 4 addra gazelles in the giraffes exhibit,
- the scimitar-horned oryxes left the zoo and building works will be done in their enclosure to welcome a new species.

Any idea on which species will replace the oryx? And are the gazelles from the Mhorr subspecies?

For what reasons do they stop with scimitar oryx?
The addra are mhorr gazelle of course and I wonder if they have a breeding group or a group of bachelor male for starters? Would be nice to add addax, N.Af. ostrich and Dorcas gazelle too (or dune gazelle)

There are already Addax in Vincennes.

Don't know unfortunately and I am quite disappointed with this info as the zoo has a long history with the species.

So, according to the french forum, the new species is roan antelope. Zootierliste indicate that a female arrived in november so could confirmed the info.

Like you (@Antoine) I would have prefered that the scimitar oryxes stayed at Vincennes. Instead, Zurich could stop keeping them at the Lewa exhibit and could replace it with the roans. Although roans occur in the Sahel Zone too, my solution would fit geographicaly better overall.
