White-necked crane hatched, another egg still in the nest 
.
.
At least 1 Serval born at Zie-ZOO .
.
New on show: Trumpeter hornbill!
Zie-ZOO was already one of the very few zoos with a special aviary for Gulls but this one has now been put down. At another place in the zoo a larger Walk-through aviary has now been build. The Gulls seem to be fine with the new aviary and 2 Lesser black-backed gulls have hatched. More eggs are being incubated at the moment so maybe more Gull-babies in the near future .
.
New species for Zie-ZOO : Egyptian mongoose - which makes Zie-ZOO the only zoo in the Netherlands with this species.
Also a ( or more ) Marsh mongoose has entered the collection ( not the one on the pictures in the Gallery becuse that one lives normaly privatly with on of the keepers ).

- dwarf mongoose
- yellow mongoose

Are there any plans to have these animals on show in the near future? Zie Zoo is shaping up into a very interesting collection....
I haven't heard anything about them going on show, but you should
keep in mind both Egyptian and Marsh mongooses were only added to
the collection this weekend. (though they kept a Marsh mongoose before)
Zie-zoo does have quite a collection off show, but they seem to be building
new enclosures, so I suspect it is just a matter of time before several species
currently kept off show will be put on display. Maybe the mongooses too.
