Several Patagonian cavys born at Amersfoort
Amersfoort have recently opened an new aviary. It's called Snavelrijk. This species are living here: Griffon Vulture, Marabou Stork, Glossy Ibis, and Dalmatian Pelican. It's the biggest aviary in the Netherlands. Next step is rebuilding the African Savanne. All of it are part of a new bigger theme part called: De Grote Wildernis.
Do you have any photos of it?

Yes it's a walk-through, I've put some pictures in the DPA gallery
Thanks, it looks great - very big! Are there any plans to add any further species over time? I guess they are a bit limited in species choice with vultures and marabou though.
For some time the Yellow mongoose produced some young but they were only discovered for some days !
