Dutch zoo guides
- Thread starter Mr Gharial
- Start date
Alright. A quick rundown of current plans:
- Apenheul and Artis are currently on hold until spring. Apenheul didn't really need an update this year, and Artis is doing a lot of renovations that will hopefully be finished by spring.
- My annual Avifauna visit sadly didn't go through, so I wasn't able to update the zoo guides, or check in on the new aviary.
- Dierenrijk is basically out of my reach because I can't get there easily with Public transport. Same goes for ZieZoo, help with either would be greatly appreciated, as these really need an update (especially ZieZoo).
- Blijdorp is positively huge and needs the most individual pages out of any zoo. Despite visiting this year and even getting species lists from people multiple times, almost every time I "finished" that version of the guides, it already needed an update again. I need to go for another dual visit, but I'd way prefer doing this when it's warmer. it's in need of an update for sure, but it won't be coming any time soon, I'm afraid.
- I visited De Orchideeënhoeve today to see if an update was needed, but there were very minimal changes to the species list, so this one might be another year before an update is really needed.
Other than that, there's a few zoos I haven't visited, ever. So I don't know if they need any guides. And of course the Belgian zoos need updates but they're also mostly out of reach for me.
Anyways, I'm locking myself in a bunker until the Christmas music stops, so I guess I'll see you next year (unless anyone can help me with Zie-Zoo or Dierenrijk, that is)

The Diana monkeys should be here too, right? Or were they not on display yet? New animals have arrived very recently.
They're not on display yet, and I wasn't aware of any new additions. I'll add them back in

Hey, did you still need help with Zie-Zoo? I've been there this July and am hoping to go again later this month so I can (hopefully) scrounge up any information you need. They do have a good bit of reshuffling and renovating happening at the moment so maps might not stay accurate for long.
I'm finally planning on visiting later this year, as soon as the new scavenger aviary is finished, but it would be very nice to not have to practically start from scratch. A species list is definitely appreciated!

Both the Pheasantry and the Butterfly pavilion didn't quite have enough room so this completes the set. The sapling is the little terrarium area above the butterfly pavillion. I also added the sea lions, as the butterfly house directly leads to the sea lions at all three exits.
Seems like Zoochat's compression kinda killed this one so I'm gonna say it again: you can always contact me for the original files at full quality!

Note that the Goeldi's marmosets can be seen in the outdoor enclosure, but the Armadillos can't
You know the story by now...
I am just gonna add that the Ring-tailed lemurs will likely leave pretty soon and the four enclosures now labelled with 5 will get new inhabitants.

I saw a photo in an Artis Facebook group today of a red panda exploring the outdoor enclosure.

This was a real tight squeeze... A lot of these species don't have accurate distribution maps available, so some of these are more of an educated guess from iNaturalist observations...
I should've just done these without maps like the first version...
Also: Number 13 isn't missing, it was empty
