Paris Zoological Park Zoo de Vincennes Paris News

I love the vivarium, one of my favorite "Reptile/Amphibian/Invertebrate house" I've visited thus far. I guess it's just for the sole concept of a European lineup but many of the terrariums in there also look very good.
I love this vivarium too, I think the setting is perfect and it's stimulating to see a decent collection of European species
 
A female Guianan bearded saki (Chiropotes sagulatus) recently arrived from Colchester Zoo. The 3-year-old Kalu will form a pair with male Kato who arrived at the zoo earlier this year.

According to the post, they are the only breeding pair of this species in a European zoo, but that is not correct.
What happened to the previous saki(s)? I visited in August 2022 and they had a pair at least.
 
D’Ora, a female from Cotswold Wildlife Park arrived at Paris zoo.
She will be joined soon by another female, Shani, from the zoo de la Boissière du Doré.
Parc zoologique de Paris on Instagram: " Arrivée exceptionnelle d’une femelle rhinocéros au @zoodeparis ! Ce samedi 2 mars au petit matin, le Parc zoologique de Paris, un site @le_museum, a eu le plaisir d’accueillir D’Ora, une femelle rhinocéros blanc, en provenance du @cotswoldwildlifepark, près d’Oxford. Elle sera bientôt rejointe par Shani, une femelle en provenance de @zooboissiere, près de Nantes. C’est une bonne nouvelle pour assurer le programme de reproduction des rhinocéros blanc en collaboration avec l’@EAZA ! L’objectif de ce transfert ? Permettre la rencontre avec Angus, l’un des deux mâles présents au Parc zoologique de Paris depuis 2014, dans le cadre du programme d’élevage du rhinocéros blanc dans les parcs zoologiques européens. Considéré comme “Quasi-menacé” sur la liste rouge de l’@uicn_comitefrancais. Il resterait moins de 20 000 rhinocéros blancs à l’état sauvage. Victime de la dégradation de son habitat et du braconnage, différents programmes de sauvegarde de l’espèce sont mis en œuvre avec succès. À travers sa course annuelle la Paris Zoo Run, les fonds récoltés grâce aux parrainages et les différentes actions de conservation, le @zoodeParis s’engage pour la préservation des rhinocéros blancs dans la réserve de Borana avec @savetherhinointernational (@boranaconservancy). ©️ MNHN - S.

You are remembering correctly - it was three males prior to this and has been for some time now. Hopefully breeding is the goal of this move.
Thanks for confirming this Kalaw, I only know too well as my better half made sure we spent a good portion of our trip watching them. :D
 
Haliaeetus said the female arrived today
It did. 23/01/22 is the date of her birth, not her arrival in Paris. The zoo didn't even acquire the species until 2014, which I believe is when the three males arrived.

As did I on my visit five years ago, my first encounter with the species and one of my most memorable ever zoo experiences - I recall being somewhat surprised to find out that they were all males, as one was noticeably bigger than the others. From the list provided upthread by @MennoPebesma , I assume this would have been Tinus?
