It is neither Berlin nor Basle.

Wroclaw, or as it was then known, Breslau.

Wroclaw, or as it was then known, Breslau.

Indeed: the gorilla "Pussi" lived in Breslau (now Wroclaw) for just over seven years from September 1897 until October 1904.

I'm glad someone got it, my brain was beginning to hurt. I'd have never guessed Wroclaw in a million years!

@ hedigerfan : we're waiting for the next question !!

 

[hedigerfan]

Where was Doreen the first of her kind?

 

[Tim May]

Where was Doreen the first of her kind?

"Doreen" was the first bongo in New York (Bronx) Zoo; in fact I think she was the first bongo in any zoo.

 

[hedigerfan]

I wondered if it was too easy. Correct Tim.

I wondered if it was too easy. Correct Tim.

It was an easy question for me because I have an old 1930s Bronx Zoo postcard depicting the bongo “Doreen”.

Another question to follow this evening.

On Christmas Eve 1938 five giant pandas arrived at London Zoo, one being the famous ‘Ming’. One of the others, ‘Grandma’, didn't live long and sadly died in January 1939.

Her mounted skin can still be seen on display in a museum. What museum?

 

[vogelcommando]

Natural History Museum London ?

 

[Tim May]

Natural History Museum London ?

No, not the Natural History Museum in London.

Then it should be the Leeds Museum....?

 

[Tim May]

Then it should be the Leeds Museum....?

Yes, that's right, the Leeds Museum.

(Incidentally, 'Mok' one of London Zoo's gorillas from the 1930s is also exhibited in this museum too.)

Look, I do not know if this have been done before, but here it is. The game is to guess which zoo this is with only a few hints. The person that guesses the right zoo, will get to choose the next challenge. Although the zoos can be randomly picked, it is not allowed to search the web for clues on which zoo it is.

Yes, there is a game like this:

Oke, here we go : which zoo had in the second half of the 1970-ties the European first-import of a pair of Luzon Cloud rats ( Phloemys cumingi ) ? They didnt live however very long...

[vogelcommando]

No, it wasn't Frankfurt.
