Yes, I have one question.
What's the species of the porcupine that the park have? I have photos of them but I don't know the exact species... (they seem diferent from the Crested porcupine). If you want I can upload a photo.

Hi everyone I'm going to France next Sunday and I will be visiting Reserve Africaine de Sigean(for the second time)if anyone wants any particular animal photographed I will take a picture and post it on ZooChat
when I recently visited there seemed to be juvenile Asian black bears, ankole cattle(extremely recent birth, it was still in quarantine), Somali wild ass, Vietnamese pottbellies, to name a few.
@longleat diego- Perhaps try and get a pic of the Asian black bear infant, in the area beside the exit of the drive-through area for the bears.

Ok @epickoala I'll do my best
Check up on the Kordofan giraffes please and find out if any other rhino are on the way?!!
According to signage, they only hold/held Reticulated giraffe, both in the drive-thorough and walk-round areas.
They have a very large group of Kordofan giraffe (2012: 1.1 were born, see also above), 13 at the last count. The reticulated giraffe group is only 1.2.
I saw 2 giraffes in the walk around area, But by all means there could of been a third indoors. There were quite a lot (quite possibly 13, and at least 1 young) in the drive around area.
Looking at the map again, it says 'Girafes' in the walk-round area and 'Girafes du niger'(which I believe is french for west african giraffe).
No baby bear there seem to be an old individual in that enclosure the giraffes are fine some baby ones I'll post the pictures another day
Tragically a major flood has hit the park, many animals in the park are thought to have died, this is not the first time a flood has hit the park.
