CERZA News from CERZA

Update from CERZA regarding the developments:
- A new enclosure in the cheetah breeding center has been built with a new observation post.
- A walk-through enclosure for red kangaroos, Bennett's wallabies, and Parma wallabies has been built in place of an old cheetah enclosure. This is one of the elements of the new "Terra Australia" area.
- The second "Terra Australia" facility is a 500 m² walk-through aviary, which houses rainbow lorikeets, crowned pigeons, kookaburras, and masked lapwings.
- The former white tiger enclosure has been replaced to make way for the first enclosure in another new "América Do Sul" area. Covering an area of 6,000 m², it houses alpacas, tapirs, capybaras, and greater rheas. A 150-meter covered walkway crosses the enclosure.
-The vicuñas have moved into the old alpaca enclosure near the lodges. Apparently, a new species will be introduced there next year.
-Giant anteaters (a new species) have moved into a second enclosure at "América Do Sul."
-Maned wolves will soon be housed at "América Do Sul."
-All species at "América Do Sul" can also be viewed through glass in a new building.
-A walk-through aviary is under construction at "América Do Sul." It should welcome macaws, great curassows, American flamingos, scarlet ibises and six-banded armadillos (all species are already present at CERZA).

It is not often that we see maned wolves coexisting with other species. It will be interesting to see how they interact.


I coule well imagine Asian species in the aviary that currently houses macaws and flamingos because it is a continuation of the Asian zone.

Lille Zoo has been housing maned wolves and tapirs in the same enclosure for several years. I don't recall hearing of any incidents between the two species.
