Bioparc Valencia Bioparc Valencia News
- Thread starter kiang
- Start date
that the two domes represented in the map, are new aviaries.
Is there anything known about the timeline for the Silk road phases ?
The only date that has been mentioned has been for the first phase, 2027, but I wouldn't be surprised if it takes longer than that.
New individual:
- Bioparc is going to welcome Sherry, a three-year-old male Rothschild's giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis rothschildi) coming from his birthplace at Zoobotánico de Jerez!

Two year old Grevys Zebra mares - Lilani and Amera are being transferred across from Zoo Krefeld.
Zoo Krefeld on Instagram: "Auf Wiedersehen, Lilani & Amera! Unser Zebra-Nachwuchs Lilani und Amera verlassen den Zoo Krefeld und starten gemeinsam in einen neuen Lebensabschnitt – im schönen Valencia. Die beiden Jungtiere wurden 2023 bei uns geboren und haben seitdem viel gemeinsam erlebt. Zusammen mit ihren Müttern Zora und Betty wuchsen sie auf unserer Zebra-Anlage auf, erkundeten neugierig ihre Umgebung und sorgten mit ihrer lebhaften Art für viele schöne Momente bei unseren Besucher*innen. Jetzt ist es Zeit, die große weite Welt zu entdecken – wir sind sicher, dass sie auch in ihrem neuen Zuhause für Begeisterung sorgen werden! Liebe Lilani, liebe Amera – gute Reise & alles Gute für eure Zukunft! Foto: Vera Gorissen #zoolove #zoolover #zooanimals #zooanimal #zookrefeld #zoolife #Tierliebe"

Those are Hartmann's mountain zebras, which is great news! Let's hope they settle in nicely.

I read Grevy's zebra and Bioparc in the same sentence and my heart almost skipped a beat
Not upset that it's mountain zebras, though, I have yet to see them at any zoo, so yet another reason to visit Bioparc ASAP. Still not out of hope for Grevy's, though, could be brought in for the upcoming expansion, right?
It does fit in with the East African theme they are going for, but I don't see Valencia as a park interested in keeping two different zebra species simultaneously, but who knows!I read Grevy's zebra and Bioparc in the same sentence and my heart almost skipped a beat

Sorry, but does anyone know what animals (and how many) are currently held in the “Riparian Forest” enclosure? I’ve always been amazed at this multispecies enclosure and thought i’d ask. I presume that there are still the 8 drills in the enclosure, unless anything has changed since September?
I don't know the exact number; I'm listing the number I saw the last time I went. I may have missed some, or I may have counted some twice.
In that enclousure there are:
- Dwarf guenon (Miopithecus ogouensis) - 3 Animals
- Drill (Mandrillus leucophaeus) - 7 Animals (2.5)
- Sitatunga (Tragelaphus spekii) - 6 Animals (1.5)
- Pygmy Hippopotamus (Choeropsis liberiensis) - 1 Animal (0.1)
- Egyptian Goose (Alopochen aegyptiacus) - 3 Animals

He is here! The park posted a presentation of Sherry.

Very handsome, how many females does Bioparc Valencia hold?
The two you can see in the video, Zora at the age of 19 and África, aged 13.
