Pakawi Park Olmense Zoo News

The new female is a white-cheeked too?
No the female is still the same yellow-cheeked. After a look on ZTL the timeline should be this:

1995: 1.0 white-cheeked gibbon "Joey" arrived
2008: 0.1 yellow-cheeked gibbon arrives to accompany the lonely white-cheeked gibbon
2019: 1.0 white-cheeked "Joey" dies
2020: 1.0 yellow-cheeked gibbon "Joey junior" arrives to be paired with the remainining 0.1 yellow-cheeked.

Thanx for clearing it up as it was getting rather confusing.
 
Four fossa (Cryptoprocta ferox) have been born at Pakawi Park. The birth happened on June 20th already but wasn't announced until today. The cubs are doing well in the cubbing box in the female's enclosure. This is the first time fossas have been born in the low countries (although there was a previous birth at Pakawi Park, but that cub only lived very briefly).

Pakawi has opened an account to gather money for the new Monkey Island. This will house the chimpansees. In a later stadium the gibbons, lemurs and treeshrews will follow. This island will be build on the old tiger-islands.

Once finished they hope to participate in a breeding-program with their eastern chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii)

Two new tigers (non-subspecies specific, although labeled at the zoo as Bengal tigers) have arrived at Pakawi Park from Mondo Verde in the Netherlands. Their names are Waka and Iwa and they are the younger brother and sister to Awi, who already lives at Pakawi Park, and her brother Paka who died from a sudden intestinal infection in February, as they have the same parents.

The new tigers have gone through a quarantine and are now visible to visitors. They are still separated from Awi as they are still getting used to her, but are planned to eventually live with her.
