A while ago there was the rumour that Blijdorp would get Golden Monkey's or Giant Panda's in return for sending gorilla's to Shanghai. Is there any news on that except for that Rotterdam doesnt want to pay for these two Chinese species?
B.E. get new Takins instead or so
 
At some point they said that they wouldn´t receive any animals in return immidiately. Pandas were the first idea, then came the monkeys. After that there was a rumour that blijdorp would get some new sechuan takins (as the breedingpair died) or new red goral etc. But than was more than a year ago that i last heared about that.
The start of the construction of the himalyan secion of the zoo is only due for a number of years. Perhaps new animals will arrive by then???
