Our crew has everything planned for a long time. It's important to say that both transferences are part of the Gorilla EEP ruled by EAZA, from which BH zoo is part. This week, we prepared lots of enrichment both for the males, who are already separated (except for Leon, who will be with the females until the day of the transference) and for the rest of the group, in order to ensure animal welfare during the whole process, minimizing the stress and other feelings related to separation.

hey guys, i have some good news, the gorillas are already exposed to the public, and it looks like the park has got coatis in their collection, but specifically the south american species.

As for gorilla imports. The Cotia zoo is developping nicely.

Enzo? You were talking about the South African fur seal? Do you have additional information as to where the other seals came from in Angola (I was surprised there as I would have thought Namibia or something)?

I appreciate all your efforts!

A zebra was born there too, on the same day the gorillas became visible to the public.

@DAVID, the Cotia Zoo will serve as a bachelor male group, including the old breeding silverback? And your Belo Horizonte Zoologico will receive a new breeding male for the females at the Belo Horizonte breeding group... Right?

I have some information about the new male Bubu BHZ will receive from Hungary.

Male Bubu was born at Howlettts in the UK (27/08/1997). He was transferred to Sosto Zoo in Nyiregyhaza in June 2010. He has a good genetic background, but not yet has sired any offspring. I suppose he is a good match with the BHZ females.

Hello, Kifaru. Indeed, I was talking about the fur seals, but I'm sorry to inform you I know no more details about their import. All I know is they came from Angola, at least according to CITES.

Yes, you're absolutely right. Our old silverback and all his three male offspring went to Animalia to form a barchelor male group. As friend Betoyoung mentioned, we're receiving Bubu (by the way, thanks for offering more information of him!). We hope he arrives soon, so that our females return to the former group setting they were used to asap. I'm happy we're now having a group of three females for one silverback, once little Anaya reaches sexual maturity.

The only individual listed on CITES as being imported into Brazil was a single animal from Germany.

CITES has literally hundreds of fur seals being imported live into China from Angola and Anguilla, which seems suspiciously like dodgy paperwork.

Estemado @Chlidonias, I had a not dissimilar hunch in thinking that Angola is not - to the best of my knowledge - a range country for South African fur seals and it might be a wildlife trade network route for export. I did not even bother to check up on CITES or the Traffic Wildlife Trade database network yet before our Brasileiro ZC forumster Enzo posted his confirmation. I will look into it further later today.

Anyhow, I do applaud the positive change that the new park Cotia brings to the Brazilian zoo scene.

Anyhow, aside from this import/export issue I do applaud the positive change that the new park Cotia brings to the Brazilian zoo scene.
 
hey guys, i know this isn't about the topic, but do you guys know the beto carrero world? so, the zoo's park has officially announced that they would finish all the zoo's activities and all their animals in their collection will be moved to other zoos and sanctuaries in brazil, do you guys think most or some of them will go to zoos like animalia park?
