Today a Green water-dragon hatched at the Oliemeulen .

A Jungle nymph - a stick-insect species - hatched. Not very special but in this case it was. The egg from which the little female hatched was laid 3 ( ! ) years ago ! Normaly eggs of this species hatch 'already' afther one and a half year but because this egg stayed good, it was left in the incubater and now it has hatched.
Yesterday 2 porcupines were born at de Oliemeulen :

During cleaning the out-side encloure of the Greek tortoises a newly hatched young was found .
.
Went today to de Oliemeulen to have a look at the newly hatched African dwarf crocodiles. They are housed in a relative small tank in a seperate room which is normaly used for small exhibitions and this summer it was also the Butterfly-free-flight.
Althrough the tank is quite small it has a lot of hidding-places and I could only discover 2 of the 6 babies. Have up-loaded already some pictures of the parents, the nursery and the babies themself in the Dierenpark de Oliemeulen - Gallery.
