Sad news to start this new thread with, the male manatee that was born in 2019 has died.
He suffered from skin related issues for which he recieved treatment, the exact cause of death will be determined by the University of Utrecht.

Helaas is de jonge zeekoe gestorven

New species in the Bush Asarcornis scutulata (White-winged Duck) 1.1 are now swimming in the pond with the capybara

I hope that the other waterfowl in the Bush don’t suffer too much at the expense of these - I’ve seen them mixed with other waterfowl in only a few collection and have heard they can be really aggressive to them...

Two new bird species have recently arrived and a third is expected.

A pair of Sumatran Laughingthrushes will move in with the Satyr Tragopans and a group of 8 Waldrapp will join the Cinereous Vultures.

Next year they also expect to receive Vietnam Pheasants for the Bush. The goal is to collect behavioural data in a semi-natural environment, which can be used for eventual re-introductions.

Currently only 4 Waldrapps are living together with the Cinereous Vultures.

Sumatran laughingtrush (Garrulax bicolor) has been added to the collection in the Aviary in the back of the park

They are held with Satyr Tragopan

At the end of the recent video about new species, Burgers' Zoo showed this species of frog without even mentioning it. Anyone able to ID the species? Cause it seems like they are teasing the introduction of this species to either an ecosystem or as a standalone enclosure somewhere?


EDIT: I was just not paying attention to the full video WHOOPS

They did mention it, they now keep White-lipped Tree Frog (Nyctimystes infrafrenatus) together with the pythons in the pheasantry.

The black swans (maybe just one of them) has temporarily moved into the cinerous vulture/Bald-headed ibis aviary. Not sure why but I'll update once I have an answer

Scource:
(You can see them in the background throughout the video, but best at around 0:55)
 
The paths in the mangrove seem to have shifted from the usual grey to a green-ish colour. Burgers zoo has confirmed that this is not a new path. Is it because of algea? (Seen in a recent BZ Youtube video)

Could be, i can imagine they clean the path less regularly then usual now. Or maybe its just the lighting of the camera.
