What is the long term plan for Rhinos at the Tierpark? Are they included in the elephant house plan?
 
What is the long term plan for Rhinos at the Tierpark? Are they included in the elephant house plan?
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.
 
Is the bird show interesting and worth seeing?
I would appreciate any further information.
Thank you in advance for your responses.

I 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.
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 about

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

Well that’s certainly very promising, fingers crossed.
 
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 :rolleyes: ?
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.

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.

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?
 
The Red Pandas are 1 male and 1 female.
rbb24 on Instagram: "Sie sind flauschig, gerade mal acht Wochen alt und kuscheln noch die meiste Zeit mit Mama Rosie: die Roten Pandas im Tierpark Berlin. Anfang Juni erblickten die beiden Jungtiere - ein Männchen und ein Weibchen - das Licht der Welt. ‼️ Rote Pandas werden von der Weltnaturschutzunion IUCN als stark gefährdet eingestuft. Deswegen freut sich Zoo- und Tierparkdirektor Dr. Andreas Knieriem ganz besonders über den Nachwuchs: "Angesichts des zunehmenden Verlustes ihres Lebensraums kann eine gesunde Reservepopulation in menschlicher Obhut für das Überleben dieser besonderen Tiere entscheidend sein. Dass Rosie nun gleich zwei Jungtiere großzieht, ist daher nicht nur ein großer Erfolg für unser Zuchtprogramm, sondern erfüllt mich auch persönlich mit Freude, denn wer die beiden sieht mit ihren Knopfaugen und dem rostroten Fell, dem geht das Herz auf.“ Die Eltern Joel und Rosie kamen im Rahmen eines internationalen Erhaltungszuchtprogramms (EEP) nach Berlin. Bis sie gemeinsam mit ihrem Nachwuchs auf der Anlage zu sehen sein werden, könnte es aber noch eine Weile dauern: „Rosie ist eine sehr vorsichtige Mutter. Es ist ihr erster Nachwuchs, den sie großzieht. Sie lässt ihre beiden Jungtiere derzeit noch keinen Schritt allein tun und das wird auch noch einige Wochen so bleiben“, erklärt Kuratorin Maren Siebert. Rote Pandas, auch Kleine Pandas genannt, sind übrigens nicht direkt mit den Großen Pandas verwandt. Sie gehören zu den Katzenbären, teilen sich aber dennoch viele Eigenschaften mit ihren bekannten Namensvettern. So ernähren sie sich ebenfalls hauptsächlich von Bambus. Auch haben sie – wie Große Pandas – einen verlängerten Handgelenkknochen, den sie wie einen Daumen zum Festhalten von Bambusstangen nutzen. #tierpark #berlin #panda #rbb24"
