@BjoernN: Do you know why they gave up keeping Ostriches? If I remember correctly, they have had at least one breeding success and the birds fit perfectly to the Kiwara Savannah.

 

[BjoernN]

The Ostriches will come back later after the construction of the new Black rhino enclosure.

 

[zoomaniac]

Thanks Bjoern.

The Ostriches will come back later after the construction of the new Black rhino enclosure.

Fingers crossed either North African or more fitting Somali ostrich instead. Perhaps the honorable Prof.Dr. Junhold and the curatorial staff may have a hand in!??

 

[BjoernN]

Third Lesser flamingo hatched yesterday.

@Kifaru
I hope for Masai ostrich.

The Kiwara-Kopje including Eastern black rhinoceros, Patas monkeys, Cheetah and Rock hyrax will follow on April 29th.

There were staff members around the new exhibits on Saturday explaining that it was the first day the exhibits had been open - needless to say we saw none of the occupants!

Kiwara-Kopje looked a long way off to my eyes - much of the part-built rockwork was still skeletal.

 

[BjoernN]

I agree with you, Maguari. The opening date was officially announced by the zoo itself.
