I also saw what I believe the Bear Cuscus offspring in an offshow indoor enclosure next to the tree kangaroo. There is also a female Lesser Kudu in with the male from Dvur. The work on the elephant was progressing quite well with a lot already finished. The first pillars have also been placed for the flamingo and pelican aviaries.

Lots of exciting news, thank you for the updates. Did you see anything of note happening where the rhino complex is planned to be?

Nothing yet, all of the species were still present. (African Buffalo, Somali Wild Ass) Did notice a decent amount of signage in the monkey house about their projects for Rhinos in the wild and a rhino statue outside, but that might have already been there.

Yup, all of this rhino theming has been there for some time. So we still have to wait, if something will come from it in the end.
And there actually are 3,1 African Wild Dogs by now.

Other than that, they gave their (5,2) Red and White Giant Flying Squirrels to another zoo.
Likewise with their (1,7) Gayals.
Two rarely kept species gone now. But I guess the flying squirrels weren't much of an attraction anyways. I spotted a head about two or three times in almost a year and after that usually didn't even bother trying.

Any word on which zoo the squirrels went too? I’ve seen some upset about the departure of the gayal. Is there any idea of what will replace them? Perhaps movement of the Cape buffalo once the rhino work begins?

Conservation centre in Grasleben, if ZTL is to be believed. Regarding the gayal, I can't remember if that paddock is meant to be included in the rhino facility footprint but if not it would definitely make a good home for the buffalo.

 

[Al]

I think it was mentioned before that the paddocks affected by the new rhino complex would include those for Mishmi takin, Somali wild ass, Cape buffalo and another species in which I can’t remember!

With Gayal leaving and banteng soon to replace the water buffalo there seems there will be a good few upcoming changes!

2.0 Java Bantengs (Bos j. javanicus) arrived from Cologne.

Tierpark Berlin on Instagram: "Unser kleiner Roloway-Meerkatzen-Nachwuchs ist jetzt richtig flink unterwegs! Vielleicht erinnert ihr euch noch an unser letztes Video aus Mitte Juli, da hat das Jungtier die meiste Zeit noch ganz eng bei Mama gekuschelt. Our little Roloway monkey youngster is now really quick on the move! You might remember our last video from mid-July, when the little one spent most of the time snuggled up close to Mom. "

Birth of 1.0 Grévy's Zebra.
Tierpark Berlin on Instagram: "Gestern geboren und schon flink unterwegs! Unsere Grévy-Zebra-Herde hat Nachwuchs bekommen. An der Seite von Mama Deany, die sich hervorragend um ihr Jungtier kümmert, entdeckt der kleine Hengst nun neugierig sein Zuhause. Grévy-Zebras gelten laut der Roten Liste (IUCN) als stark gefährdet. In Kenia leben heute nur noch rund 2.000 Tiere. Born yesterday and already quick on his feet! Our Grevy’s zebra herd has welcomed a new baby. By the side of his mother Deany, who is taking excellent care of her foal, the little colt is now curiously exploring his home. Grevy’s zebras are classified as endangered on the IUCN Red List. In Kenya, only about 2,000 animals remain today."

Birth of 1 Crested Black Macaque .
Tierpark Berlin on Instagram: "Unser Schopfmakak-Jungtier Bashira entwickelt sich prächtig. Mama Batari kümmert sich nach wie vor super um ihren Nachwuchs. Manchmal setzt sie die Kleine schon ab, aber die meiste Zeit hängt Bashira fest umklammert an ihrer Mama. Bis das Jungtier eigenständiger herumklettert, wird es noch einige Monate dauern. Genauso braucht es noch mehrere Monate, bis sich das rosa Gesicht zunehmend dunkler färbt. ℹ Bashira ist das zweite Schopfmakak-Jungtier und kam Ende Juli auf unserer Otter-Insel zur Welt. Ein Jahr zuvor kam Jungtier Kiritan zur Welt. Wer hat schon mal einen Blick auf das Kleine erhaschen können? ‍ Our crested macaque infant Bashira is developing beautifully! Mum Batari is still doing a wonderful job caring for her little one. Most of the time, Bashira is still clinging tightly to her mom. It will take a few more months before the youngster starts climbing around more independently and just as long before her pink face gradually turns darker. ℹ Bashira is the second crested macaque infant born on our Otter Island, arriving at the end of July. One year earlier, little Kiritan was born. Have you managed to catch a glimpse of the new baby yet? ‍"

Die süße Avelina verbringt ihre ersten Lebenstage noch ganz gemütlich mit Mama Elfi im rückwärtigen Bereich. Sobald ihr die Kleine selbst bestaunen könnt, sagen wir euch natürlich Bescheid. Bis dahin versüßt euch die Woche mit diesem Video. On October 23, this adorable baby animal was born. Can you tell what it is? That’s right – a little tufted deer! The sweet Avelina is spending her first days of life comfortably with her mom, Elfi, in the back area. As soon as you can see the little one for yourselves, we’ll let you know, of course. Until then, enjoy your week with this video. "

I thought Tana's mother Pori was also returning.

Apologises, yes she is according the article - so, 1,4 including Pori.
