The article also stated that due to Temi's pregnancy, the planned transfer of the Kewa's family to Munich would not take place. I think it would not be a bad idea to move them to Augsburg, where they plan to open a new elephant house in the spring.

Who is Kewa?

Who is Kewa?

Kewa is a 35 year old elephant cow in Tierpark Berlin. Originally she was to move with her descendants (Thuza, Pantha, Edgar) to Munich, where she would meet her eldest daughter Temi. She is now pregnant, so this ferry will not take place. However, they must move elsewhere very soon, as the Tierpark Berlin is planning a major reconstruction of the elephant house.

Hellabrunn starts to built an aviary for its flamingos. The park explains they try to put the same system that for pelicans (stretched nylon ropes above the birds) but it did not work.
The construction will be finished for spring 2022.

Mid-September female Snowy Owl (Bubo scandiacus) named Keiku arrived from Korkeasaari Zoo.

The Colombian black spider monkeys (Ateles fusciceps rufiventris) have gotten company of
Azara's agoutis (Dasyprocta azarae) in both their indoor and outdoor enclosures.

Sadly the self-dug sleeping cave of the meerkats collapsed in the night of 22nd of September, killing all 4 meerkats. The zoo no longer has meerkats now.

In September a King penguin (Aptenodytes patagonicus) hatched.

In August 2 Patagonian maras (Dolichotis patagonum) were born.

Sadly 11-year old male Fishing cat (Prionailurus viverrinus) Ratu was euthanised due to his medical condition. He arrived at the zoo last year and already suffered from various joint problems and later it was discovered that he also had a tumor.
According to ZTL Tierpark Hellabrunn exchanged males with Tiergarten Nürnberg, so I persume Ratu is that male.
