Parc de Branféré Parc de Branféré

Some news about the new tortoises exhibit : the park received 12 african spurred tortoise :
- 10 female between 5 and 7 years old,
- 2 males of 15 and 25 years.
All of these were coming from Sigean and Biotropica.
Two others tortoises will arrive soon.
 
Arrival of 3.0 parma wallabies, new species for the park. They are presented in the past reindeers enclosure, in front of the visayan warty pigs.
The reindeers are now in the farm area.

Any idea how old the other individuals of these African spurred tortoises might be Centrochelys sulcata?
 
Arrival of two dromedary camels. New species for the park.
They will be mix with the somali wild asses and the scimitar-horned oryx in the new dry african plain.

Other new species : 8 greek tortoises arrived from a seizure. They are off-show except for those who are doing the activity "keeper for a day".
Zoodyssee received the same number of tortoises.

From what I read somewhere on the net the building will be 300 square meters.

And a news : according to zootierliste a pair of silvery-cheeked hornbills arrived a few months ago. This news must be verified as there is no place to put them on show now. If it's true I guess the birds will go in the new okapis area. Will see next year !
 
Will see if it is confirmed as, sometines, the brochure are not good. But, for sure, this place could be very good for such a species.

The new flyer confirm the species indicated in the brochure so the okapis will share their three enclosures with sitatungas, blue duikers and wattle cranes + a small antelope looking like a dik-dik is drawn so maybe another new species :cool:
 
Sadly, Kedou, a 15 years old male kordofan giraffe, passed away. The park still has 3 other bulls (bachelor group).
