Some notes from a visit last friday :
- about 1/5 of the zoo not visitable due to construction-work ( new African savanne, new outdoor enclosures apes, new okapi-enclosures ).
- Walk-through enclosures with birds ( hall-way to the reptilian-house, Cape buffalo walk-through enclosure and walk-through next to the Hippo-house ) all closed due to avian flu prevention.
- Flamingos closed-in in a small indoor-enclosure, also due to avian flu prevention.
- First time in my 40 more then 40 years of visiting this zoo ( must be at least 25 - 30 visits over this period of time ) I didn't see the 2 "Congo-specialities" of the zoo ( okapi and Congo peacock ).
But even so - believe it or not - I had a real great day at the zoo

A Balabac kantjil has been born. Only two turaco species were on display last monday (purple crested and violet) and hardly any curassow (coming from 7 resp. 6 species a couple of years ago). Construction of the mixed giraffe - hartman mountain zebra enclosure and the great apes enclosures are well underway.
The giraffe + zebra Savannah should be finished up by summertime.
