Thoiry Animal Park News from Thoiry Animal Park

The young Arctic Wolf female KIANA, born in Beauval and transferred in Thoiry in late 2020, has now a litter of 4 pups. (Instagram account of the zoo)

It seems to be a great year for the canids !
 
The young elephant bull Moyo arrived from Magdeburg Zoo. Another young bull Jabu from Boras is also due to be brought in soon. They both join Ben.
This is a very bad news as the elephant barn is the worth I know and is not fit for 3 bulls.
Nevertheless there is a good news : the park announced that they will build a new elephant facility at the entrance of the safari with a new 1.400 square metters barn, a 2 hectares' savanna and... lodges (to make more money :rolleyes:).
 
Thoiry unveils a 30 millions investment plan which they hope will help them to reach 1.000.000 visitors in a few years.
We do not know exactly what will be done except :
- the new elephant exhibit announced above.
- new luxury accomodations/lodges.
- refurbished safari parts (an enlargement is already taking shape).

I don't know if the return of lions or other big cats is scheduled.
The safari part looks a bit empty with nearly only hoofstock, plus the black bears and wolves in the American section.

Some important precisions on this plan :
- the 30 millions euros will be invested by 2028.
- 5 new lodges will be created in 2024 and 35 more in 2025.
- the park will be enlarged with 35 new hectares by 2028 (it is now 50 hectares).
- the park wants to promote mixed species exhibits.
- between 2026 and 2028 the park will stop cars drivethrough to replace with its own trucks and a new public transport with a 360 degrees view.
