Disgraceful scenes, showing the arrival of "SAMIR" at this zoo, management surely should be censured by the EEP and recommendations made, i'm sure there will be a few distressed hoofstock keepers back in Edinburgh after watching this footage.

Video doesn't work for me, can you explain what is disgraceful?
Big crowds of noisy people around the lorry and surrounding the pen inside the house as he was let out of the crate for the first time (this was after a 5 day journey). Keepers shouting to each other and the constant camera flashes
Poor guy didn't get a minutes peace when he should have been allowed to rest after such a long journey

Thansk Nisha. That sounds really bad. Did an Edinburgh keeper accompany him?
No - if they had then I suspect the outcome would have been very different
Hopefully they'll learn for (if and) when the next Rhino arrives
Poor boy! There is a photo on their --> Facebook page, hope he has got only superficial abrasions of the skin ... :-(

Pertinax, Affirmative. Only male Bertus (b. 2008).

Faruk Yalçın Zoo
Also as a person who has been there and had an "apprenticeship", I can say that the place itself and the collection isn't really bad except for the fact that it is located on an hill. Most of the keepers I worked with wanted the best for the animals they worked for. The thing that makes the zoo unbearable is the visitors who litter the place and feed the animals

A crack is found on a colosoma/pacu tank and apparently nothing has been done about it.

The sloths gave birth to a baby for the first time in Turkey let alone this park.

Some notes on the Northern bald ibis-breeding at the zoo :
