A female South African bat-eared fox arrived from Poznan (Nowe Zoo) in Poland.
 
After the completion of the amur leopard exhibit, do the snowleopards get all the old cages for their own ?
 
"Mini", that last Yellow-cheeked Crested Gibbon at the zoo, died at the age of about 29 years.

She became a kind of grandmother for several young Sumatran orangutans during the last 12 years.
 
Two Red-crested turacos hatched at the bird house, 9 Fulvous whistling ducks at Gondwanaland.

The last Sun conures were shipped to Cologne Zoo.

New species:
Yellow stream frogs, Tomato frogs and East African reed frogs at Gondwanaland
 
The spectacled bears? The zoo is searching for a new home for the last two old bears.

OK thanks, I didn't know there were 2 bears in there as I saw only one, hope they find somewhere soon as this area along with the amur / snow leopard area is the only bad points for this lovely looking zoo.
 
Two female Komodo dragons (hatched at LA Zoo) are now on show at Gondwanaland.

Western lowland Gorilla female "Louna" (6) was shipped to Nuremberg Tiergarten today.

Is this the zoo's only Bat-eared Fox? Where is is displayed?

I remember seeing a lone gibbon on my visit last year, although she wasn't with the Orang-Utans at the time, as she was outside and they were all inside. Are there any plans to bring in a new gibbon pair?
 
The Bat-eared foxes (a male from Praha and a female from Poznan) are living at Gondwanaland.

There are no plans for a new Pongoland gibbon pair.

I have found the Leipzig Zoo map online, it looks like they have replaced the Azara's Agouti in Gondwanaland? What hapened to them? Did they originally replace the servals? Do the foxes make a good display?

Do you have a link to the map? I've tried finding it before but only ever come up with very small or poor quality ones.
