Any news if the female is pregnant again, or or even gave birth in the meantime ?

Any news if the female is pregnant again, or or even gave birth in the meantime ?

The wait is over now (no pics yet )
Also, 2 species that were temporarily absent in collection are now added: 0.1 grey wolf (tame) and 1.2 water monitors

 

[Elephas Maximus]

Male Arctic wolf put on exhibit. There's a moronic plan to mate him with grey female.
Hybrid cubs are useless for conservation, but very useful for making money.

 

[Elephas Maximus]

0.1 kinkajou was born
New female white-cheeked gibbon introduced to the group (1.0 white-cheeked & 0.1 lar)

 

[Elephas Maximus]

Hybrid Green/Violet turaco chick was born, now about 1 month old.

On March 17 the mixed pair Green x Violet touracos hatched a second chick. Would be intresting to see how they look when the are fully grown.
@ Elephas Maximus : thank you for sharing the picture of the young bird !

 

[HOMIN96]

I hope you post pictures when it fully grows up

 

[HOMIN96]

By the way, Elephas Maximus, may I ask you how did that happen? I suppose the zoo didn´t meant to make these hybrids...

 

[Elephas Maximus]

There are single specimens of each species left in the collection, and they formed a pair.
In past years, violet touracos also bred.
