Bioparc Genève news thread

Haliaeetus

Well-Known Member
This thread is dedicated to the news from the Bioparc de Genève, a park that seems overlooked here.

For the first news in this thread, I report the birth of 0.0.1 Ring-tailed Lemur (ok it's a very common species) on March 25th.
Bioparc Genève on Instagram: "Explorer le monde à dos de maman - Lémur catta âgé de 3 semaines (naissance le 25/03/24) @animalkeeper_chloegsth #lemur #lemurcatta #makicatta #ringtailedlemur #baby #babyanimal #primate #animal #refuge #animalpark #bioparcgeneve #geneva #suisse #geneve #switzerland"
 
The video shows that the animals come from a small Swiss institution called Johns Kleine Farm (in Kallnach near Bern) which closed for good last year. It's a great initiative and I hope the species will be kept in more suitable and visually pleasing enclosures over time.

In addition to the species mentioned by Haliaeetus, this new area should host (non-exhaustive) :
- Lesser hedgehog tenrec
- Crested porcupine
- Siberian chipmunk
- Bar-headed goose
- Sun parakeet
- Red-footed tortoise
- Northern Raccoon (not confirmed)
- Domestic species: White Barock donkey, goat, bactrian camel, alpacca, llama, ferret and Serama chicken
