Was born, is this a rufous giant elephant shrew to us?
 
Between March 17 and April 3 no less than 7 Blackbocks were born ! For about 20 years blackbocks were seen in alsmost every zoo, now-a-days mostly smaller zoos and hunting-ranches are keeping the species which has become quite rare in the wild.

Similar pattern in the UK. Formerly a staple species in many Zoos- now found only in a few, though here Safari Parks are keeping them now also.
 
2 large births at Cologne Zoo :
Asiatic elephant born sex still unknown but prob. a female
Giraffe born, a female
 
Any more informations about these two births ? So the exact birth date birth of both of them, please ?

Who is the mother of the elephant calf ?
 
No elephant calf nor giraffe has been born in Cologne recently. The news Vogelkommando quotes is an old report from summer 2012.
 
Sorry for the mentioning of the 2 old births - was realy thinking they were this year !
Now some real recent news :
2 Red-crowned cranes were hatched at the beginning of June
