Erlebnis-Zoo Hannover Hannover Zoo

Asian Elephant, Sayang gave birth to a calf earlier today - the 4th birth at Hannover since December
 
The baby-elephant is a male. This is the 18th calf born in the Dschunglepalast, which opened in 2003 :).
 
Sumatran Orangutans, Kajan and Zora will soon leave Hannover for Fort Worth Zoo
 
Hanuman langur born at Hannover :

Die Haltung dieser Schlankaffen hat eine lange Tradition im Zoo Hannover. Seit 50 Jahren gehören sie zum dortigen Tierbestand und die Zuchterfolge sind regelmäßig. Zudem wird dort das Europäische Zuchtbuch (ESB) für die Art geführt.

Der Erlebniszoo schreibt dazu:

Umsorgter Nachwuchs bei den Hulman-Languren: Wer genau hinschaut, erkennt eng an Mutter Lisas Körper gedrückt, ein kleines, zartrosa Köpfchen und zwei große Knopfaugen, die schon sehr munter schauen. Das Jungtier kam am 21. Dezember auf die Welt und ist wohl gerade mit Abstand das beliebteste Familienmitglied der Hulmans! Jeder möchte das Kleine halten, tragen oder sich ankuscheln. Außer Vater Kochi – der hat als Familienoberhaupt mit der Kindererziehung wenig am Hut. Das Geschlecht des Jungtiers ist übrigens noch nicht bekannt, da den Tierpflegern der Blick auf das entscheidende Detail noch verwehrt blieb.
 
Asian Elephant bull, Nikolai is moving to Artis next week. He sired 14 calves during his time in Hannover
 
By now the polar bear cub has grown a lot and can be seen on the outdoor area in Yukon Bay. The cub is a female polar bear and is called Nana
 
Hello everyone! Does anyone know which subspecies of grey crowned cranes that Hannover is holding by the boat ride? On zootierliste it says that they are holding both southern and eastern grey crowned cranes, is that correct? Every time I've been to the park I've only seen two crowned cranes and I find it weird that they would have one of each and risk mixing the subspecies, especially as grey crowned cranes are pretty common, so it shouldn't be hard to find a partner of the same subspecies?

So, are they really holding one of each? How can I tell the subspecies apart? I have some photos from the park and want to mark them with the correct subspecies.
Here is two of the photos I need help with:
Southern or northern grey crowned crane

On July 24 Drill female Daphne - which is 25 years old - gave birth to a healthy young ! Daphne is with this birth the oldest known Drill to give birth :).

Very noteworthy and happy event to get over the radar. It seems their new enclosure might also have worked here.

For years and years, they have had issues with getting their drill to breed. It seems the elder females had been incompatible with new young male (and I am unsure what the old male I am not sure made his "unfitness" hold out).
 
I am pretty sure the old females live in old cages and not the new enclosure.

This is what I meant: they were incompatible with new and somehow the old male was ineffective with them. All the same, happy with the new breeding result!
