@ZG, these are the real thing yes … as in pure-bred Siamese?
(COTW is a quality brand - for lack of a better word -)

French Police are hunting for a burglar who broke into the park last night and stole... A Komodo Dragon!

The male Dragon was one of four on loan from Barcelona since April 2014. He is described as being approx 1 metre 20cm in length and weighing approx 4.5 kg. It is believed he may have been stolen to order....

Four men have now been arrested and charged with the theft of the stolen Komodo Dragon mentioned above. Sadly the Komodo Dragon himself was found dead on the bank of the River Rhone having been abandoned

@Antoine: Maybe you can answer the following question (I sent an email on this to Ferme aux crocodiles in french but never got a reply):

Are there still any Black Caimans at Ferme aux crocodiles and if so: Are they still on show or behind the scenes?

Hope you can help me out here.

 

[Antoine]

@zoomaniac I don't find the official info unfortunately but :
- in a press release of december 2019 they were mentionned.
- they are not labelled on the internet site.
I hope they are still there.

No, they don't have anymore black caiman...

I visited the park in summer 2019 and asked staff and they haven't got them...

Oh sh...

@Antoine and Corby93: Thanks for the infos guys. However, I share @Antoines last comment completely...

The park received some weeks ago pearled river stingrays (new species).

According to their Facebook page the park received sakishima grass lizards which are unique in France and rarely seen in Europe (6 holders).

I was surprised to see that the park hold green heron(s) which seem(s) to be the only one(s) in Europe according to Zootierliste.

Same as in Valencia, use of wrong scientific name and then mixing up species name. Picture and movie show a striated heron.

You're probably right @lintworm. A shame as the first link is from the park itself...
