This is a really good news.
Mother is Indira. I saw a video where the father was called "Kedua" or somerhing like this.
The zoo welcomed another female in 2015, called Kumpat, but I don't know if she is still there. Maybe @lintworm can tell us how many tapirs he saw in july ?
I saw only 2, each in a separate enclosure.

I did not find any information concerning TUMPAT, she was alive in fall 2017 yet.
The older male BENGTIE (*in Copenhagen on september 17th 2007, arrivef october 29th 2008) died in january/february 2016 and KEDUA arrived on july 26th 2016.
I recognized a birth in 2017, but did not find any further information. I think this female died.

Correct @BjoernN
According to the forum Les Zoos dans le Monde, Nissan and Pixel, two polar bear males came from Yorkshire Wildlife Park.
The zoo is now home to 2.2 polar bears.

Some works are going on in CERZA but we don't know what exactly except a new walkway as you can see on pictures :
Other interesting info : the park employ a second vet.

Here the new map for 2021 :
We can see the new boardwalk near the red circuit. It's quite interesting as it will allow visitors to see some species only visible from the train circuit (like the sumatran tigers for example).
Other thing is the change of enclosures for the Sri Lankan leopards and the bantengs. The second return to their previous enclosure. For the leopards, I don't understand where is the new enclosure and it seems their past one will not host other animals (nothing on the map).

More infos about the new boardwalk : it will be 500 meters long and in the middle there will be a new snack point with a 250 m² elevated terrace where you will have view onto the second african plain (8 hectares with zebras, gnus, ostriches and elands.

Cerza welcome George, a three years old Rothschild's giraffe coming from Gelsenkirchen :
The zoo just holds a bachelor group of about a dozen of male giraffes.

@Onychorhynchus coronatus This is one of the best french zoos located in a nice site. The major part of the animals has large enclosure, quite natural. The major problems are a collection focussed on mammals and buildings on the small side. A must see in France in my opinion.
You must read @lintworm review in this thread to have a better idea : Into the unknown: zoos of western France

I definitely share that view, I visited CERZA many years ago and was really very impressed (first place I ever saw an Indian rhinoceros
) by what I saw at this zoo.I was just wondering how you personally rated it amongst the zoos of your country.
