Banjarnegara Zoo

Continuing on my 2006 zoo tour through Java Indonesia this link refers to my visit to Banjarnegara zoo which is also known as Banjar Negara Zoo, Serulingas Zoo and Seruling mas zoo. Makes searching for the place a bit confusing. The zoo's location from a topographical point of view was very pleasant but there were very few other positives.
 
A pair Sumatran elephants, male Sengwong and female Roxie, has arrived in Seruling mas Zoo from Mason Elephant Park and Lodge in Bali.

Seruling mas has previously kept elephants before. In 2010, an elephant died of poisoning, while in 2012, an elephant was killed by electrocution during a exhibit renovation. Now that BKSDA is involved in the care, the elephants are safer from the zoo's incompetence.
 
An baby female Bengal tiger, named Shereen, has been born at the zoo on October 15, from a parent named Upik and Darma.
