Parco Natura Viva Parco Natura Viva news

The works on the outdoor of the giant otters' enclosure are stopped due to some bureaucratic issues. I hope they will able to resume work soon.
 
And egg of Red-headed Vulture (Sarcogyps calvus) was layed some weeks ago.
A very important event, because the zoo is one of the few facilities which host this rare species (I think it's the only park in Europe which has a breeding pair of them along with the Menagerie du Jardin de Plantes).
