First: given its status in the wild and (rarer than black rhino, reticulated giraffe, beisa oryx et cetera);
Second: before the move to the new habitat / African enclosure as well as the first few years in the new environment the Grevy zebra at Artis Zoo really did not breed well.
 
In cooperation with RAVON ( Reptilians, Amphibians and Fish Research Netherlands, Artis has raised the past 4 years loads of Common spadefoots ( or as they are known in the Netherlands Garlic toads ). The species is not doing very well in the Netherlands and by releasing captive raised animals its hoped the species can be helped. Last week for the 4th ( and last ) time in the past 4 years 5200 animals were released in the province Noord-Brabant. This brings the total number of released Spadefoots over the last 4 years to 80.000 !
 
Ok so I was hoping someone could help me out with the chimps.
I have seen nine in total and these are the current names I have in mind, but I was hoping someone else could help me identify the last two? And whether my list is up to date?

Ajani
Saphira
Vizuri
Quincy
Amber
Leen (Leentje)
Margot

Many thanks :)
 
Oh and genders:

Ajani, Saphira, Amber, Margot and Leen are girls

Vizuri is a boy

Quincy is either male or female, I'm not sure?
 
Giraffe born last night.

There's a giraffe born yesterday morning in Artis. The Foal is from Wednesday 2 December in the barn to see. Why do giraffes such a long neck? And there is some doubt. Read more at nieuws -
