I just made a list that I thought some of the members might be interested in seeing. It includes all the new exhibits constructed in the zoos that are members the Danish Association of Zoos and Aquaria (DAZA) since the year 2000.
However, I have not been able to obtain any info from Jesperhus Junglezoo and the early years of Ebeltoft Zoo (now Ree Park).
The list does not include new species, only new constructions, i.e buildings/aviaries/paddocks/exhibits.
