I am correct to learn that now they have started on Phase I. of the new Great Ape accomodation at Zoo Krefeld? This will first create a second gorilla outdoor habitat (next to the extended gorilla habitat known as Gorilla Garten Erweiterung onto the old Gorilla House next door?
The Phase I. should create A. 2nd gorilla outdoor habitat B. a new indoor Warm House for all 3 great ape species (western lowland gorilla, West African chimpanzee??? and a 2nd + 3rd - not signed - species).
Phase II. should create a new orang utan indoor House / habitat and 2 orang utan outdoor habitats separated and across from the Phase I. Warm House/Hall.
In Phase III. a new Indoor House will be build for the chimpanzees (I guess they will continue with West African chimpanzees - 2 of which survived the New Year Fire disaster.
The gorillas are on site in the "old" accomodation (adjoining the Gorilla Garten Erweiterung), whereas I believe the West African chimpanzee have been temporarily of show and the orang utans are probably on the "wanted" list and already somewhat known which species and individuals are likely to join when the Phase II. gets build.
If anyone has substantive further information to the above ..., feel free to add!
