0.1 White Rhino arrived from CERZA earlier this month. The female in question (Mosi) was born at South Lakes in December 2016 before being sent to France with her mother during 2018.

Does anyone know if they already keep White Rhino at Oasys? Are they a breeding group?

 

[SivatheriumGuy]

As far as I know, they already kept white rhinos in the past.

They have maintained a pair for quite a long time now. Male Heinz (ex Hodenhagen - b. 1998) and female Iris (ex Burgers - Arnhem - b. 2002). The latter female must move if she is to breed at all.

This makes me happy. It's not usual seeing Spanish zoos getting "rare" species.

1,0 Hartmann´s zebra was sent to Dvur Kralove in exchange.

Is giraffe Jimiyu still there as the only individium after Norbert died in 2014?

 

[KEEPER]

As far as I know, the Blandford's foxes are off show.
But maybe something was changed in the last 26 months.

Has anyone visit this collection in recent years?
I’m going to Almeria Spain in September and was wondering if this place is worth a visit? Are the enclosures of a decent size?

 

[Corby93]

Is a really must to see visit if you go to Almeria, it's a really good park.

The collection has very interesting rarities (Ruppell's Fox, Sand Cat, Lesser Kudu...) and almost all the enclosures are good for the animals and the collection is evolving in a really serious way.
If you can, go also to Acuario de Roquetas del Mar

And maybe, still they have fossas, and bat eared foxes.
