Lovely news ! How many Duiker did you see?

Quite a few. They have three different exhibits containing duikers, I did not count them all but more or less I'd say I saw four + the calf in the first exhibit, three (I think?) individuals in the paddock they share with grey-crowned cranes and another three individuals in a small and narrow exhibit bordering the pademelons (This might be connected to the paddock shared with the grey-crowned cranes, since they are both right next to each other, but they seemed separated exhibits).
Since the map listed two separate duiker exhibits, I was expecting I'd just see two different pairs and that would be it, but I was surprised! Definitely the biggest highlight of my visit, the calf was a lovely sight I was really not expecting.

Thank you @SivatheriumGuy! Promising numbers for the future of the species in Europe.

:eek: What a great addition! A really fitting one too!
I'm guessing they might go to where now the pademelons are/sitatungas used to be, or does the article say anything else about their exhibit? Really happy with this inclusion.

I am not allowed to read the full article but I thought the same.
 
It would be amazing if they added some birds in that greenhouse if possible, which would make it an even more special exhibit.
 
The zoo seems to be heating up for the arrival of the pygmy hippos, they have posted a picture of an observatory that guests will be able to use once the animals arrive. I don't know if the exhibit is ready, but the animals are meant to arrive this month. Let's see how it evolves!
