A couple of new species has been added to Bali Zoo's collection; Yuni the Malayan tapir and, suprisingly, a ocelot.

This would make Bali Zoo to be the only Indonesian zoo to have this Latin American feline on display.

Bali Zoo on Instagram: "Stop by to say ‘hi’ to Yuni, the Asian tapir at Bali Zoo Did you know their mini trunk isn’t just for show? It’s a super snack selector, perfect for picking up their favorite bites. Ready to see it in action? Your journey of discovery starts here! #Tapir #AsianTapir #ExploreBaliZoo #BaliZoo"

Bali Zoo on Instagram: "Spot the ocelot! These sleek cats at Bali Zoo have a super cool trait: they can see in almost complete darkness! Their exceptional night vision makes them top-notch nocturnal hunters. #Ocelot #BaliZoo #ExploreBaliZoo #AnimalFact"

Is it known where the Malayan tapir came in from?
Is the long term plan a breeding pair?
 
I visited Bali Zoo on August 13th with @twilighter and I have now uploaded approximately 140 photos into the gallery as this was a rather underrepresented zoo. Now there's a full allotment of images to look through and I'll type up a review of the zoo in the future. :)

After being living and breeding since the 2000's from four original birds, a family of helmeted guineafowls that had lived in the Laguna Bali resort are to be moved to Bali Zoo to ensure that they will received more spacious space. These fowls even received a farewell party from the resort.

Recognizing the need for a more spacious habitat, we are excited to collaborate with Bali Zoo to ensure the well-being of these magnificent birds. Stay tuned for the release date and be part of this heartwarming moment! #TheLagunaBali #TheLuxuryCollection"

Molly's body has been retrieved and was laid to rest on zoo grounds.

Sharing more on how she died the zoo wrote:
"Shedding light on Molly's fatality, at approximately 3:30 p.m., on December 16, Molly was guided by her mahout, heading back to the holding area after completing a routine socialization activity.
A standard activity at Bali Zoo's daily care program, where elephants spend their daily playtime, explore their surroundings, and engage in activities.

The regular route crossing Wos River typically maintains calm waters. However, the heavy rainfall caused an unexpected and rapid rise in the water level, creating a strong and dangerous current. During this unfortunate event, Molly lost her balance and was swept away."

Very sad, but that is definitely the weirdest way I have seen an elephant pass.
 
Several breeding success has been reported, including three peafowls (Unspecified species) and an macaw (Implied to be the blue-and-yellow macaw).

While this might be considered "unimportant" for some, this is still a good news considering the conditions after Molly passing, with Bali Zoo generally being a good facility (Heavily pushed back with their elephant rides and interactions).

Bali Zoo on Instagram: "One week ago, something special happened at Bali Zoo, We welcomed 3 baby peacocks a.k.a peachick into the world! They hatched with an initial weight of just around 90 grams, about the same as a bar of soap. These tiny bundles of feathers are part of our growing peacock family, now totaling 15. To ensure they thrive, they are fed twice daily with veggies and special feed, and we’ve set up heat lamps to mimic the warmth they’d get from their mother. This careful attention is part of our commitment to successful breeding and conservation efforts. Watching them take their first steps (and pecks!) is truly heartwarming✨ #Peacock #BaliZoo #ExploreBaliZoo #Bali #Zoo #LoveConserveShare"

Bali Zoo on Instagram: "Meet the newest addition to the Bali Zoo family—our baby macaw! Another exciting milestone in our success breeding journey, this little one is under 1.5 months old and still waiting for its bright, beautiful feathers to grow in. Right now, it’s sticking close with our vet team, receiving extra special care, just like #BillieEilish says, “birds of a feather, we should stick together” ✨ To keep it happy and healthy, our vet team carefully feeds it a smooth formula using a needleless syringe. This gentle feeding continues until it turns 1.5 months old or reaches 300 grams before it’s time to try softened fruits! Remember, a happy tummy means a happy baby! #BirdsOfAFeather #Macaw #Bird #BaliZoo #ExploreBaliZoo #Wildlife #Bali #Zoo #LoveConserveShare"

@Rizz Carlton, I suppose it is not easy to put a finger on what species the peafowls would be. They could be domestic or the real article - Javan peafowl....!

If I look for Peafowl and Bali Zoo I get this page:
A) Get to Know The Peafowl (Peacock) of Indonesia - Taman Safari Bali
B) Get to know Green Peacock

There was also an Alamy stock photo on Javan peafowl - Merak hijau.

It is indeed an blue-and-yellow macaw, which now have it's feathers almost fully-grown.

Bali Zoo on Instagram: "If this isn’t #love, we don’t know what is! ❤️ Watching every little growth of this baby macaw is truly magical. Do you remember the tiny macaw from our previous post? Yes, the one that once looked like those chickens from the supermarket Well, now its beautiful colors are finally starting to shine! ✨ Growth takes time, patience, and care, and we cherish every moment. In about 3 to 4 months, its feathers will be fully grown, showing off its true beauty! Stay tuned for more updates because before we know it, this little one will be all grown up. Love truly takes shape in the most incredible ways! #Macaw #GlowUp #GrowUp #BaliZoo #ExploreBaliZoo #Bali #Zoo"
