Last night a Capucine monkey was born at Oliemeulen. Hopefully this young will do better than last years young which was killed by another Capucine.
Went 2 times to the Oliemeulen in the last 2 weeks. Since my last visit ( about 7 months ago ) many animals have switched enclosures and several are gone ( left the collection or are behind the scenes ). The 2 headed snake, the armadillos, the Jungle python and many other have switched and the Pyranhas have gone completly !
Also some new species like - at least one - Banded Fijian iguana and a beautifull Blossom mantis.
Last week a New Caledonian gecko hatched.

Regulary exhibitions are held at de Oliemeulen and at the moment there is a small exibition about Butterflies. Therefor I went today to have a look and in a small room there were a lot of stuffed Butterflies, several tanks with different species caterpillars and then I started to count the free-flying butterflies and was finish quite fast..... 1 !
Evenso it looked quite nice and several of the stuffed specimens were new to me.
Also in the rest of the park little had changed but in the Bird-show a new species was added : Crested seriema.
Also saw the African eagle owl chick for the first time - is already almost full-grown.
