Some small news for this quite nice park :
- a new farm has been built,
- refurbishment of the polar wolves enclosure,
- arrival of 4,0 black and white ruffes lemurs. The zoo has now 6,0 animals.

Picture of the polar wolves enclosure :
 
This park located near Dijon in the east area of France seems to be little-known here. It's half part an amusement park and the other part a zoo. The collection is not big but some years ago the park started to extend it with large carnivores such as katanga lions and hybrid rescued tigers in large natural enclosures. Next year, the park will welcome cheetahs in a 6.000 square meters enclosure.

I had never the chance to visit but trust me, this place is quite nice and could interest most zoochatters.
 
Hi Guys!
Any chance someone knows the the date/place of birth of KAVANGO & MIKROULI (katanga lions) ?

I met Kavango when he was 2 months old, at Mervent (born 28/02/2014) ;) Mikroula comes from Athens (born 07/12/2013)

Sadly, Kavango recently died...

The current construction site is that of a house for giraffes, with a 3 hectare plain. Subsequently rhinoceros, zebras are planned.

A major new development. The Giraffe House and plain will be ready for 2026/27! Are there any ground plans or the Masterplan for the extension (and subsequent phases for rhino, zebra and other African hoofstock?
 
Very nice plans. An extension of 20 hectares is a nice addition of animal space. I’d also like to see a ground plan of this. It looks like a great project to me.
