A new female Artic fox arrived from Zie-Zoo. She will replace the old female which died shortly before Christmas.
New species for Artisklas: a Italian wall lizard ( Podarcis siculus ). The animal was found by a family which had bought some corn-salat at the super-market and after they discovered the animal, they contacted Artisklas where the animal is now recovering from its adventure.
The story of Äppie" the Italian wall lizard ( in Dutch ) :
2 weeks ago 7 Arctic foxes were born at Artisklas .
.
White-throated geckos are kept at only 4 public collections in Europe and Artisklas is one of them. Last week the first young ( only 3 centimeters long ! ) was discovered in the enclosure.
From Tierpark Berlin a pair of Zebra mongoose arrived .

It’s the smallest all round zoo in the Netherlands, 100% non profit. It’s a nice zoo.
Revisit after five years today and there were quite a few changes. Zebra mongoose (new group) and raccoon dogs are kept in new enclosures and the collection of the terrarium building has changed a lot with now several Central American species. I saw yellow-headed geckos for the first time.
