The gradual and very gratifying spread of the species around Europe continues, then :) although thus far only Leipzig, Paris and Moscow have successfully bred them. Be good if other collections followed suit......
 
The File-eared tree frogs ( Polypedates otilophus ) - aka Bornean eared or Bongon whipping frog - have 2 nests :).
 
I've spent this morning in Moscow Zoo and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Really enjoyed the nocturnal house with Springhaas, Galago, Quoll and Kinkajous and even Feather Tailed Glyders zooming about. Loads of quality invert exhibits. New reptile house featured some nice crocodilian species including Siamese Crocodile, Black Caiman, False Gharial, African Dwarf Croc and Chinese and Mississippi Alligators. Always nice to see Sable Antelope! And Takin & Musk Ox. Brilliant!!

Had a really good look around but did not find any Saiga Antelope - do they not keep this species any more?
 
A plan of the new China pavillion, which will hold amongst others, giant panda, red panda, golden pheasant and Chinese giant salamander.
