A female Red Panda has arrived from Dublin, she joins the male who Lyon received from Ree Park during 2012
 
I just saw a figure that this zoo is getting 2,500,000 visitors per year. Is that true? Does anyone know? Thanks.

The building works started one or two months ago. The opeing is expected for the end of the year but I am quite sure it will not be possible.
You can a see a complete list of the species who will be housed in the area here (you must read a few messages) Leszoosdanslemonde • Afficher le sujet - Le zoo de la Tête d'Or va se doter d'une forêt asiatiq
Some rarities will be on show such as milky storks, Owston's banded palm civets or Sunda hooded pitta.
