In Frankfurt, one animal lived for 22 years.

Fortunately, the poor sow in Nuremberg is now dead, after being kept alone for years, because in Nuremberg they apparently do not know that pigs are very social animals that never live alone in freedom, but in large groups. Apparently, Nuremberg was too incapable of giving the animal at least one domestic pig for company, because there was no specific reason to keep the Red-River-Hog alone.
 
Recently a 2-year old male Sulawesi babirusa (Babyrousa celebensis) arrived from Zoo Wuppertal, he will soon be accompanied by a female. He can be found in the tropical house/Tropenhaus which used to house babirusa till 1990. The enclosure consists of
two outdoor enclosures with a combined size of over 1,000 square meters, created from the former enclosures of the red river hogs and the lowland tapirs. The indoor enclosure is around 70 square meters in size with five boxes and a show area. Furthermore they will have access to both bathing and mud pools.

According to ZTL Tiergarten Nürnberg keeps both the Northern Lynx (Lynx lynx lynx) and the Eurasian Lynx (Lynx lynx). According to the zoos instagram a new male named Yuri arrived from zoo Magdeburg. However Magdeburg (according to ZTL) only has Carpathian lynx (Lynx lynx carpathicus). Supposedly this new male will live together with the 3,5-year old female Sansa, which I believe is a Northern Lynx.
So does Tiergarten Nürnberg now have 3 different (sub)species of lynx?

Nuremberg only keeps Carpathian lynx, the animals received from Czechia in recent years (listed as no ssp.) are also Carpathian lynx and the original nominate animals haven't been in the zoo since 2018.

Ok, thanks:). Out of curiosity does anyone know how old she is? She looks quite young that's why I was surprised when I thought she was on her own.

In the last couple of weeks 1 Cape buffalo (Syncerus caffer caffer), 1 Przewalski's horse (Equus ferus przewalskii), 1 Addax (Addax nasomaculatus) and multiple were Barbary sheep (Ammotragus lervia) born.
