New species expected in 2024 : Dhole (Cuon alpinus).
This park seems to have diversified the species of canids for several years with the arrival of Mackenzie wolves, bush dogs, fennecs, bat-eared foxes and now dholes...

The yellow-footed rock wallabies planned for 2023 never arrived, the enclosure planned for them is occupied by Bennett's wallabies.

The map has also added a second red panda enclosure (Looks like the spot where a marmot enclosure is right outside the museum) as well as signing more gibbons in the aviary where the Egyptian vultures and ravens are. Maybe another gibbon species is on the way? If that's the case and they are moving the vultures and ravens that would be a pity, that enclosure was amazing for them.
Dholes are a good inclusion, it looks like they will occupy the first lynx enclosure, the one with the Carpathians. Their canid lineup is top-notch at this point.
 
I have mixed feeling with this park. The Dhloes are a great species, as are most of the new ones that have arrived to the zoo during the last years. But I liked more when the park was specialized in European species, that made it different, and they are losing many interesting and rare to see species, specially birds.

Yes, I'll say I expected more when I visited back in August of last year. They have lost a lot of fascinating species in favor of other more commercial ones, the Guiana House is a clear example of this. It also really saddens me they don't house the lovely caprid lineup they once had, they definitely have the space for it.
They still have some very nice species and enclosures kicking around but I can see it has gone through better times. A lot of missed potential seeing what they once had.

In addition to this and my gibbon theory, I noticed the following in the "Documentation" page on their web.
If you check the PDF's attached in "Téléchargez la Brochure CSE", "Téléchargez la Brochure Scolaire" and "Téléchargez la Brochure Grand Public" you can see that alongside the dholes Siamangs (Symphalangus syndactylus) are also planned for this year. Alongside them a Yellow-footed rock wallaby (Petrogale xanthopus xanthopus) is still shown, maybe they will try and bring them for this season?

0.0.3 Siamangs just came from Twycross Zoo in GB.
Parc Animalier des Pyrénées on Instagram: " ̀ ́́... Il y a quelques semaines, nous avons accueilli 3 Siamangs venus du @twycrosszoo au Royaume Uni Les Siamangs sont des singes vivant dans les forêts tropicales d'Asie. Ils possèdent de longs bras et leur gutturale située au niveau du cou agit comme une caisse de résonnance, les rendant audibles à plusieurs kilomètres ️ Souhaitons la bienvenue aux nouveaux arrivants #parcanimalierdespyrenees #siamang #siamangs #gibbon #gibbons #parcanimalier #tourismeoccitanie #valleesdegavarnie #hautespyrenees #destinationpyrenees #zoofrance #zootoulouse #zoopau"
