Zoo Leipzig Leipzig zoo news 2011

Ok. I think they would have been a good choice for Gondwanaland, instead of the serval, which is not a rainforest animal...
 
Indeed bush dogs would have been a very good choice. Unfortnately their exhibit belongs to the african section.

They will certainly join the part South America in the future.
 
So, they will build a new South America part? That sounds very interesting, it seems that bush dogs will come to Leipzig again when that's finished.
 
They will build a new South America part (Spectacled bears, Tapirs, Jaguars, Maned wolfes etc.), the next large project after Gondwanaland.

The construction of new exhibits for African hunting dogs (next to the lions), Snow leopard (new zoo part "Himalaya") and Amur leopards will already start next year.

I thought that they had already started construction for the hunting dog exhibits? Am I right to assume that the African wild dogs will be where the Australia enclosure is now and the Amur leopards will go next to the Amur tigers? Where will the snowleopards be? The old carnivore grottos, perhaps?
 
The indoor exhibit for African Hunting dogs was already built in 2009. The outdoor enclosure will be situated next to the Australia exhibit.

The Amur leopard will got next to the Amur Tigers and the new "Himalaya part" (Snow leopards and other animals) will occur at the ancient outdoor enclosures of the New Carnivore House (one part houses coatis at the moment, one part was demolished and will be restructed).
 
At least three meerkats and one Damohey dwarf cattle were born. The maned wolf cubs are 2,2. A new male dall sheep will arrive from Krefeld Zoo during the next weeks.

Four female Przewalski horses (0,3 born at Leipzig 2003 and 2009, 0,1 born at Berlin Zoo 1996) left the zoo.
