Khao Kheow Forest & Wildlife Reserve Park Khao Kheow Open Zoo news

This year we expect to have two pygmy hippo cubs from two parent pairs Which are being compared together.
List of parents
Mootoon (m) + manow (f)
Toni (m) + gunyar (f)

Is "Gunyar" an existing pygmy hippo at Khao Kheow or a transfer coming in this year? The name isn't familiar to me.

Any news yet if Moo Tun/Moo Manao have successfully bred? Is Manao pregnant yet?

Thanks!
 
Gunyar was born at this zoo in September 2014. Her father was Robbo (passed away), and her mother is Jona (also the mother of Moo Deng)."

Ohhh wait... is Gunyar also known as Kanya/September? Mother of Moo Wan? I have seen those names used on social media but don't know what is official.

60th birthday party for hippo “Mae Mali” at Khao Kheow zoo


Mae Mali was born at Cologne Zoo on September 8, 1965. She was then moved to Tilburg Zoo in 1966 and later transferred to Dusit Zoo in Thailand on June 8, 1967. When Dusit Zoo closed, she was relocated to Khao Kheow Open Zoo on December 18, 2018. Mae Mali has had a total of 14 offspring.
In Thai, the title “Mae” is an honorific used for elder females, similar to calling someone “Auntie”. It is commonly used affectionately for female animals as well.
