Borås Zoo and Kolmarden swapped non-breeding female white rhinos.
Namakula went to Kolmarden for Mashikishiki (b. 2002).

Male giraffe Shirafu left for Amersfoort Zoo.

Another giraffe born in March 2012 named Kiitawi?
(dam?) :confused:
 
Births
5.2.0 Southern Cheetah on 5/11/12
5.3.0 African Wild Dog on 26/10/12. The first breeding of this species at Boras in 10 years
 
1.1 Red Panda joined the collection this week: The female is from Nordens Ark and the male came from Praha

Recent births:
0.0.1 Grants Zebra
0.0.4 Brown Bear cubs
 
Recent Births/arrivals and departures have included...

1.0 African Elephant (has it's own thread)

1.1 Southern Cheetah went to Ljubljana, Slovenia

1.0 Sulawesi Crested Macaque arrived from Darmstadt, Germany
 
Today the new elephant bull Yoga who arrived in October was found laying on his "wrong side" and could not stand up. The fire and rescue service were called in to help the 10000 pound giant to get up again. Yoga is a fast and dangerous bull handled with extreme pro cautions which made the rescue a hard task. From him laying down to he was up on his feet again took about 7 hours and many different ideas to solve the problem were tried. Finally a winch were taken from one of the fire vehicles, through the door, up in the ceiling, around a girder and then around his feet to lift his body to the right side.

Great news!

Any indication one of the other rhino cows is now being mated by male Bhasela?
 
I'm Sorry Kifaru Bwana, but I don't know if Bhasela has mated the other females. :/

Zuri will also leave Sweden and Borås this year and move to our neighbours in Denmark and her new home on the other side of the bridge in Copenhagen Zoo.
 
Zuri has gone to Copenhagen now.

A new Wisent bull has arrived from Avesta Visentpark. The name of the new bull is, Avsture.

:)
 
An other great news from the park! Today they have presented new plans and pictures over the new entry which will be hopefully complete to opening next year. It's a the local company Fristad Bygg as build the new entry building and a 305 metres bridge which is taking you from the entry building over a railway and to the best exhibit in the park which is the savannah with lot of various species. The new entry building and the bridge will have a mix of african and nordic style.

That looks really cool. Reminds me of the entry to the Valencia Bioparc, but much longer. Will this be the exit too? The bridge doesn't really look wide enough for a bi-directional footpath. Are there to be any new animal exhibits associated with this development?
 
What I know, the exit will to be located where the current entry/exit is located. I don't believe this building will holding any animal species. But in future the zoo want to build a hotel that will to be build next to the new entry building.

Also 1 Celebes crested macaque has been born (six unknown).

:)
 
16/10 - 1 Eastern Bongo has been born and has been named, Chilli.

The rhinos Jamala and Zinzi are on show in the Elephant house from this week between 11 am & 15 pm.
