So browing the website for the zoo I found this: Deze zomer: vlieg je mee? - DierenPark Amersfoort
Any idea what this is about? New enclosures? As they are phrasing it like storks are going to get their own enclosure or atleast something flying

2 Griffon vultures hatched in Snavelrijk, the large Walk-through aviary at Dierenpark Amersfoort .
.
Yesterday I visited Dierenpark Amersfoort and here some notes from this visit :
- new was a Crocodile-tailed lizard ( only saw 1 animal but there could have been more ) :
- Births :
- Loads of Egyptian spiny mice :
- a Sitatunga
- a Chimpanzee :
both Griffon vulture-chicks seen in 2 nests :
- Golden pheasants, chicks not seen - were hidding underneat their mother. Normaly nothing special of course but Amersfoort claims these are the first Golden pheasants ever hatched at Dierenpark Amersfoort ( something I hardly can believe ! )
- Construction :
- Nocturnal House ( one of the most intresting part of the Zoo ) was temporarily closed due to renovation works
.
- Next to the Nocturnal House and the Dino-woods larger ground-works are in progress, don't know however what is gonna happen there.
- Gone :
- Himalayan newt ( Tylototriton verrucosus )
-Bamboo frog ( still unidentified species for me )

On Friday 27 years old Siamang Ella didn't wake-up after anesthesia because she already had for a longer time some health-problems... RIP Ella.
More exciting arrivals in Amersfoort: a pair of White-Naped Pheasant Pigeons and two beetle species: Dicronorrhina derbyana and Eudicella gralli.

Yet more awful and sad news in 2020 ...
Unfortunately the three year old juvenile Asian elephant Yunha died earlier today from the Elephant Endotheliotrophic Herpes Virus.

This is very bad news. Too many elephants have been dying lately. This new is very bad for Amersfoort. She could expand the herd in the future. The breeding cows in the zoo are only Indra and Kina. We just have to hope that Thabo won't get sick either. Strangely, however, female calves die predominantly from the EEHV. I hope Indra's unborn calf won't get sick. RIP dear Yunha.

Here is an update on Indra's pregnancy in Amersfoort (she is elephant). She was to give birth long ago and still nothing. There are already concerns about whether the calf is alive. I hope that in the end everything will turn out well. The most important thing is her health, even if the calf will eventually dead. We just have to hope.

Security Check Required
Finally, finding out why elephant cow Indra doesn't have a calf in Amersfoort yet. They found out she wasn't pregnant at all. This is surprising, because half a year ago, all the results showed her pregnancy. It is probable that something went wrong during pregnancy and the calf died. Indra's body probably must have absorbed him. Overall, this case is very strange and nothing is completely clear. But in the end, that's good news, because a dead calf could endanger her life. (Although Sri in Saint Louis has had it in her uterus for 18 years and her health is normal). We'll see if she gets pregnant in the future.
