Do you guys know this Zoo already of Belgium? It is called Monde Sauvage (Safaripark Aywaille). I visted it last year, and i will go back next week to it.

It is a little Zoo like Olmen, but with an amzing Birdshow, a Parrotshow, a Sealionshow and a Safaripark. In the Safaripark there are Elephants, Rhino's, Hippo's, Zebra's, Girafs and a lot of other safarianimals.

They have sometimes specials events like "breakfast with the Girafs" etc.
This year the redone the Polarbear exhebit, and they put a South American part into the Safarizone... :)

But why i want to go back to this zoo? It is the last Zoo in Belgium with Orangutans.. :)

Safaripark... Visit it with your one car, or with a huge train that's been dragged by a unimogjeep...

This park has(or had) 2 male Sumatran Orangutans. One is Mokko who was born in Jersey- he hasn't developed normally. The other I know less about(is he called Marcus or Marius?)

Have they any females now? Maybe you can photograph these Orangs during your visit...
 
I am sure there is one big male, and that their are 3 animals all together. Or the two others female or male are? I wouldn"t know, but mayby it will be clearly next week.

These pictures are from last year...

I didn"t find these animals there i am afraid.

With the Orangs there are now two Gibbons on the island. The 3 Orangs are still the same, 2 are certainly male, the other i don"t know...

New in the Zoo? A South-american Safari with a Tapir. New paintings against the wall of the Icebears, youngsters with the Vari's, nice cubs with the Artic Wolves...

And still a beautifull birdshow...

Nice Orangutan photos. The big(padded) male is Marius/Mario. The dark slim one is Mokko (ex Jersey- he will never develop into a normal adult male- no testicles) The third & smallest one staying close to the big male in the photos looks more like a female by its behaviour.( I will check on ISIS) Maybe you can found out her/his details?

The reason 'Mokko' was returned to Jersey from Melbourne is because they found he had undescended/damaged testicles and so was no good for breeding. The reason was later traced to an Xray his mother was given while she was pregnant, which presumably resulted in this damage in utero. He has never developed normally- cheek pads/size, and so he can be kept with another male.
