Does anyone know if the Polar foxes are kept together with their Musk oxen? If I remember correctly, there seemed to be a connection between these two exhibits, although I didn't saw any fox with the oxen. Sadly I haven't found anything helpful yet.

The polar fox enclosure used to be connected with the reindeer, but since the hares moved into the reindeer enclosure, I assume the foxes don't have access anymore.
 
On the 17th of July a Eastern Atlantic harbour seal (Phoca vitulina vitulina) was born, it's the first time since 2016 that a harbour seal has been born in Tierpark Bern.
