Thank you! Can you recommend what time of day they usually come out?
Early morning is your best bet, but it’s no guarantee. Do keep in mind currently the Rotterdam Zoo is closed off to all non-season pass holders.
Thank you we went today, we bought season passes on the door so we could get in! Committed

Timber did not move to Switzerland, but to Emmen in the Netherlands. The Mekong, bull from Emmen, moved to Switzerland.
I wonder when they will be able to ship out Fahim from Belgium. Are the borders for this kind of transport still closed (Is it closed for domestic / livestock too)?

I am not in the office, so for the moment cannot check to see if the route involved Belgium...
