According to information I found on a Facebook page for Dutch zoo enthusiasts, originally "De Nacht" or "The Night" was originally divided into continental sections (Africa and Madagascar, Australia and South America), but because the animals eventually managed to move between the section (which are divided by automatic sliding doors) and intermingle, that idea was abandoned and "De Nacht" now consists of three connection sections of walk-through exhibit with various species as well as a few separate exhibits.
According to the Dutch Facebook page, the signs in the exhibit, my observations during my visit and some earlier research on Zootierliste, the following species are kept free-ranging in "De Nacht" or "The Night":
- Western Woylie or Western brush-tailed bettong (Bettongia penicillata ogilbyi)
- Grey-handed night monkey or Grey-handed douroucouli (Aotus lemurinus griseimembra)
- Linnaeus's two-toed sloth (Choloepus didactylus)
- Long-nosed potoroo (Potorous tridactylus)
- African brush-tailed porcupine (Atherurus africanus)
- Azara's agouti (Dasyprocta azarae)
I also spotted (and will show elsewhere in this gallery) at least one votsotsa or Malagasy giant jumping rat (Hypogeomys antimena) roaming free. The votsotsas were however supposed to be in a separate exhibit with bushbabies (which I will also show elsewhere in this gallery - and I did see at least one more in there) so not such what's going on there.
@KevinB The porcupines were a seperate exhibit at first too, however, the sliding door mechanism didn't work good enough so now some of the animals are mixed (more than before)
