Parc Zoo du Reynou Parc Zoo du Reynou

Quite funny to find nothing on Zoochat about this park !

This park is located in the middle west of France near the city of Limoges (100.000 inhabitants). It has a quite complete collection (giraffes, african, south-american and asian ungulates, big cats, monkeys...) for an average zoo with some highlights (persian onagers, vervet monkeys, bharals, visayan warty pigs, Philippines spotted deers, binturongs, kinkajous...).
The zoo is built around a castle with part landscape garden. It could be nice but a third of the enclosures are bad or uggly. But there are two large african plains and one asian plain, a really good sumatran tigers exhibit (built 3/4 years ago) and a double huge(1,6 hectares) natural enclosure for two polar bears.

Here you can find the internet site : Accueil - Parc Zoo du Reynou and the Facebook page : Parc Zoo Du Reynou

According to the map on the internet site the zoo will welcome bantengs this year.

The Zoo applied to a state bank dedicated to entreprises to help its development. With the new money they want to create a small train circuit and make digital transformation of the park. The main goal is to welcome approximately 110.000 visitors per year (instead of 90.000).

From what we can see on this video and read on Facebook it appears that le Reynou has 4 giraffes (bachelor group I suppose as it was for a long time now).

The zoo transfered last december 2nd 1,1 patas monkeys to Negev Zoo in Israël. According to Zootierliste there were just 1,1 patas in march 2021 so I suppose there were the last for the zoo.

Great news!

I have a feeling that the Persian onager are getting more attention in Europe and the population is starting to thrive in earnest! I feel a status update is well overdue on the EEP/EAZA population.
