At least according link from Jana, leopards are still in their place
(peafowl exhibit should be located "next to ceylonese leopards")
(peafowl exhibit should be located "next to ceylonese leopards")
Are these the ones obtained from that famous Italian breeder?
No idea. The text published doesn´t reveal any name or country.
Yup leopards are still signed in that old cage next to the new-ish part of said enclosure (but I haven't seen any)
Can you elaborate on this? I would love to know if and where this private breeder is located in Italy!
I really would like to see more of the subspecies inside North zoos as well as zoos in Indochina (Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam, perhaps even Thailand-Burma border areas...).
I can't because I know nothing much other than it exists; a member stated in a thread (can't remember either) that the SSP was present in Europe because of an Italian breeder.

Sorry for the belated reply, but no - the zoo got them from a bird farm in Germany.

The zoo acquired a new species: the ashy wood pigeon. There are 2 of them on display now.

At least two critically endangered Roti Island snake-necked turtle hatched in the beginning of this year.

There is going be a new enclosure for Père David's deer. It should probably open later this year or next year.

Does anyone know if Lada or one of the cubs is the one that has gone to Belfast?
Belfast received a young female born in late January 2024 to the same breeding pair of Leo and Lada.
Another article in local newspapers that talks about investment plans. What is new, current or got postponed:
- doubling of exhibit area for polar bears (2027)
- upgrade of existing zoo entrance (start in 2025)
- pygmy hippo exclosure planning process (starts 2025)
- rhino and antelope enclosures (just in form of future study project, no dates or funds)
- gelada house (opening 2026)

I really hoped the zoo could open the new gelada enclosure and house in 2025, that got pushed back gain and now they communicate it for 2026. But at least the city is willing to invest into zoo upgrades and new projects, that is positive. It would be nice to get some new attraction for 2025 high season but alas there is nothing in the pipeline if we don´t mention a few education posters.

The wording in the article isn't clear enough. Maybe the plan is still to open the gelada + hyrax outside enclosure this year and the pavilion next year? Because that was still the plan at the beginning of the year.
