Ouwehands Zoo Ouwehands Dierenpark, Rhenen

The seperation area in the indoor area of pandasia has been removed, Fan Xing is now allowed to roam all of the indoor area
 
Some news from the Dutch zoo magazine "De Harpij":

- The last remaining cub of the clouded leopards has moved to Parc Animalier de Bouillon in Belgium.
- Three males of the harbour seals have left the zoo. One male came from Wildlands Emmen, he will stay here temporarily before going on to England. There were also two harbour seals born this year.
 
In the summer of this year, the young giant panda Fan Xing will move to China. Fan Xing will turn two years old in May. Normally young pandas move to China around the age of four. The reason that Ouwehands has chosen to move him to China already is because young pandas in the wild leave their mother when they are two years old. In this way, they mimic nature as much as possible.

After his departure, Ouwehands Dierenpark will work to establish a natural mating between Xing Ya and Wu Wen that will hopefully result in another giant panda cub.
