I read in a recent newsletter that there's plans to renovate the chimp enclosure in the upcoming years.New or renovated chimp enclosure has been a long term plan for some years now. I am not sure it will be soon, but that would be nice.I visited the zoo on thursday and noticed a few species are no longer part of the zoo´s collection, it seems. I was missing:
- the Black and White ruffed lemurs
- the Golden lion tamarins
- the Geoffroy's cats.
The first two species' enclosures have been completely removed, the latter enclosure is still there, but all the signage has been removed, and it looked as if it has been boarded off... so it seems these species are gone.
Also, there was a sign saying the last Nutria has died, and the species will no longer be visible in the zoo due to European law.
I am wondering what the zoo will do with the freed up space. I hope the Geoffroy's and Nutria's enclosures might free up some more space for the Chimpansee enclosure.
I wonder what kind of theme they'll go with this time, as the Ancient City and the Realm of the Giants builds were (and still are) insanely creative, and the newer aviaries are also well done.
Twins is a rarity in this species.Two Solomon Islands skinks were born at the zoo

You'd expect them to maybe switch out the male/female to get new bloodlines in?
