I saw the ratels in the early afternoon, but sadly, I had no luck with the tamanduas and squirrels.I would like to know if there are special times to best observe the honey badgers, tamanduas, and giant white and red flying squirrels.

The only rhinos planned for the Tierpark currently are the Southern Whites that will live in the new facility for (hopefully) breeding Northern Whites. There's a bit more information upthread but the most recent news is that they are still committed to the plan, and work will start once the finances are sorted if I'm remembering correctly.What is the long term plan for Rhinos at the Tierpark? Are they included in the elephant house plan?
Is the bird show interesting and worth seeing?
I would appreciate any further information.
Thank you in advance for your responses.
I can't really add to anything @ralph or @SivatheriumGuy have already said as I'd just be repeating things (good luck with the tamanduas though, I'm not sure anyone has ever seen them), the ratels especially are very easy to see as they're active pretty much constantly. I usually reach that spot late morning and due to how criminally small that enclosure is, they're always running aboutI have never done the bird show, but I would suspect you will need all the time you can get to visit the Tierpark. The bird show would take away from that time.

Is there any indication of the aardvark enclosure in the zoo being free of aardvarks? If not this might be yet another duplicate species in the zoo and tierpark.I'm very happy to learn that aardvarks will be exhibited in the Elephant House. It makes a lot of sense from geographical but also evolutionnary point of view with the hyrax on top of it. The current exhibit at the zoo is really unsatisfactory in my opinion (despite being the average exhibit for aardvark). I hope they will have a large area they can explore at night (or a very large nocturnal exhibit but that is more costly). The departure of the aardvarks open exciting opportunities in the nocturama as it was by far the largest enclosure. A scaly mammal maybe?
I still have hope for honey badgers being moved somewhere else but the specie is so widespread, you can easily find a spot to fit them in somewhere else at the Tierpark.

But I can recommend the bird show highly - it's one of the best I've experienced at any zoo, with a real mix of species and some very good visitor participation. On my first visit to the Tierpark, I managed to see the entire zoo plus the bird show and still have time to spare at the end of the day. If you have 2 days to visit, I would absolutely make a point of watching the show at least once. I also find it's a nice break from what is otherwise an awful lot of walking
It's point 5 in the map, in the children's zoo, next to the red pandas and sheep petting zone.Thanks, cerperal, ralph, and SivatheriumGuy for your advice.
I can't see the location of the bird show on the map. Could someone tell me where it is?
I just noticed that the Tamandua has moved to Latvia on Zootierliste.Hello,
I would like to know if there are special times to best observe the honey badgers, tamanduas, and giant white and red flying squirrels.
Two more African Wild Dogs were in the enclosure now.1 African Wild Dog can now be seen in the former Dhole enclosure, more will follow. Watch this story by Tierpark Berlin on Instagram before it disappears.
