As announced in the Tapei Zoo thread, 1.1.0 pangolins (species not named, however, presumed to be Manis pentadactyla) are due to arrive at Zoo Leipzig from Tapei Zoo.

Kobenhavn Zoo had also bred them last year for the first time
Last week a Nile lechwe (Kobus megaceros) was born!
Recently the first two Lesser flamingos (Phoeniconaias minor) of the year hatched, Leipzig has around 70 lesser flamingos.

Zoo Leipzig received a new male amur leopard called Checco. He came from Parco Zoo Punta Verde in Italy. Do anyone know what happened with the previous male Xembalo?
Southern Pudus Penelope and Mette have been transferred from Zoo Halle.

Does anyone have an update on Kiyan -- which zoo he went to in Croatia, and/or if he is still alive? Cubs? Thanks in advance!

According to ZTL, he was sent to Osijek Zoo, and is the only subspecies-pure Transvaal at the collection, although there are also at least two female generic lions who arrived from Sosto Zoo in Hungary per a brief search. It has no mention of cubs, nor does any of the zoo's social media that I can find.
A female lion tailed macaque is suspected to have been stolen. There are traces of trapping and burglary. The zoo is working with the police to find the perpetrators.

This a dramatic turn of events. I do hope that law enforcement will now accord due diligence in dealing with the criminal networks active in the illegal wildlife trade
It is well known that law enforcement is usually a rather inept and passive reactive policy and response with not much ado.
(other than to placate the masses within the - with mostly only economic interests at heart and non specific trade versus category of threat in mind, and least of all Conservation nor Conservation Breeding - legal framework CITES).
This is no playing kids' games, it is top big crime networks at work here.
I think you two are making this way daunting than it actually is, but that's just my honest opinion; the monkey has already returned the zoo, it was spotted by a jogger on a tree in the city, police caught it and returned it, from a quick veterinary checkup it doesn't seem to have been injured.

I think you underestimate to what length the illegal wild animal trade has invaded regular society and is able to pull off stealing zoo animals overnight.
Plus, I do view AW-activists potentially releasing zoo animals as another real and major concern in their stary eyed belief that Freedom is Final.
