Indeed, but take it with a pinch of salt, it's nothing confirmed.

also another thing: why did they moved the ostriches to the wet savanna?
Due to an incident with a rhino
New individuals:
- Several new animals have arrived to the Bioparc from Dvůr Králové; a male Mountain bongo (Tragelaphus eurycerus isaaci) that has joined the park's bachelor herd, a female Kirk's dik-dik (Madoqua kirkii) to form a breeding pair with the male that lives alongside duikers and bongos and a male Common impala (Aepyceros melampus melampus) to join the park's current herd of five females and start breeding the species again.
Other than that the new male of striped hyena has been successfully paired up with the female and they are getting along well. They also showed more footage of the new gazelles and otters.

New individual:
- A female Round-eared sengi (Macroscelides proboscideus) has arrived from the Walter Zoo in Switzerland. The individual will be paired up with the male who arrived from Frankfurt last year to breed the species!

I've heard they are not really keeping up with signs of the new species, right?Very well.
The next step is to put a signage about that species in the terrarium.
Many of the informational posters need to be reprinted. The new one about the striped hyenas is quite good.
Yes and No. Because the installation is shared with the older spotted hyena. Mornings one species, evenings the other (as you know) and for now, they have only the striped hyena signage.
If for any cause in the mornings is the spotted present in the installation, the people just see the signage and says: "oh it's an stripped hyena..."

Yes, I know there is that problem. I was referring to the fact that the new striped hyena sign is quite cool and looks very new in contrast to the rest of the signs in the park. The spotted hyena sign is in the warthog enclosure, which is no excuse, but at least if people try to look and read some information about both species they can do so. But yes, it is a mistake that the two signs are not together and that it is not specified that they take turns anywhere, neither in the park itself nor on the website, I believe.

I have been wondering, is Bioparc Valencia an authentic outlier in the Iberian Peninsula regarding PR communication and openess to the public or are there other good examples to point out? I just love how much they care about sharing and reporting about what happens in the park and their animals. I think more zoos in Iberia should be like that!
Is there an explanation for why Bioparc is like this?

I have no idea of why but I also adore said aspect of the park. I wish they were even more transparent, do a similar thing I've seen cezch and german zoos do and reveal full yearly reports of births and passings, but their current standars are already good enough for a spanish zoo.
I also wish this ease to update visitors on current ongoings at the park was expanded to the rest of zoos.
New individual:
- A male North African ostrich (Struthio camelus camelus) arrived at the Bioparc to form a breeding pair with the remaining female from Tiergarten Schönbrunn! They will be housed at the wet savannah enclosure alongside the giraffes, gazelles, impalas,...

Both Eurasian otters arrived from a German zoo, unsure ATM which zoo they were imported from.
I would not know where the striped hyaena came in from. whether Czech Republic or perhaps the Middle East. The Mhorr gazelle male retained was the older of the two bachelors left at Bioparco Valencia... If you know his name ... (appreciate that)?
Also, I have yet to find more information about Río Safari Elche and females of Mhorr gazelle in the news at the park....
If you look back in the thread you will see that the male hyena came from Zoo Bratislava (and to my understanding, the otters were too, but maybe you know more about that) and the female is from a French park.
As far as I know, Elche doesn't have females yet. No idea when it comes to their names either.
Birth news:
- A Western chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes verus) has been born at Bioparc Valencia! The mother, Eva, hasn't been able to grab her offspring and hasn't produced milk to feed it, so the park's team will hand-rear the newborn chimp. Of course, whenever the new individual can join the other animals the park will try to introduce it back to the troop.

just saw a video posted yesterday and it's true that the addax will now be in the dry savanna with the rhinos and zebras
