ZooParc Overloon's last two sika deer, a male and a female, have died. Both animals had reached an advanced age and started suffering from age-related ailments. Therefore, both animals have been euthanised. With this, the sika deer are out of the collection.

Today ZooParc Overloon posted a clip hinting that the new species coming to the zoo will likely be the clouded leopard.
ZooParc Overloon officially announced today that they will be getting clouded leopards this summer. Construction of the new enclosure will start at the end of March.
The enclosure will be an extension of the Jangalee area, and the ultimate goal is to transform the old Amazone area into the Asian Jangalee area in the coming years. The arrival of the clouded leopards is a first step in this.
Construction work is expected to be completed before the summer holidays. Not much later, two female clouded leopards will arrive at Overloon.

According to signage at the zoo, ZooParc Overloon will open a new expedition area called Ngyuwe in 2025. The theme of this new area will be Tropical Africa. Where the new area is to be realised is not yet known. However, it does look like the pygmy hippos will be featured in this area.

The second animal park now to start with what once was regarded as a too difficult to maintain and breed species. The European clouded leopard population is a bit stagnant these days and new holders and willing to invest in breeding are most welcome. Also looking forward to this Ngyuwe area in 2025 ... !!! The park has really been on a long evolution to a better future.
Mandidy, one of the two black-and-white ruffed lemurs (Varecia variegata variegata) died at the age of 19. He died due to health problems related to his advanced age. His 18-year-old brother Nosy now remains alone in the company of the ring-tailed lemurs. The zoo is talking to the management programme about whether new ruffed lemurs can be added soon.
A white-faced saki (Pithecia pithecia) was born on April 7. This is the second young for this pair.

The fossas at Overloon have mated.
Een mysterieus geluid was eerder deze week te horen via onze kanalen. Je luisterde naar twee parende fossa's. Had jij het goed geraden?... | By ZooParc OverloonFacebook
It was mentioned at the Laafsekikkers that people from Overloon attended a conference about yellow-backed duikers at Frankfurt Zoo, indicating they might possibly be considering keeping the species.
