Does anyone know if the planned Asia area is still ongoing? The plans were released in 2022, with expected opening 2026, but I can't find anything newer on it, and images on google maps doesn't show anything that look remotely like ongoing construction. I visited yesterday, and there wasn't any signs either - I'd think they'd want to advertise a big upcoming exhibit.

The Siberian Tigers could really use the planned extra 500 square meters - they showed clear signs of stereotypic behavior, especially the young/smaller one.

(new user, I hope it's OK to ask in this thread)

Odense ZOO on Instagram: "Vi har gemt på tre små hemmeligheder… For fem uger siden kom der tre sunde og raske løvekillinger til verden. Deres mor passer rigtig godt på dem, og nu er de så småt klar til at bevæge sig ind i løvegrotten, hvor du kan være heldig at spotte dem. Hvis de gemmer sig, kan du i stedet komme helt tæt på dem her i videoen, hvor løvemors hale bliver sat på lidt af en prøve… #odensezoo #vildttætpå #løveunger"
