Ok other than Maja, Hope, Zira and Bambari (new females from Ostrava) does anyone know the other 5 non-subspecific/hybrid females? I know the only hybrid male is Alex...

By accidentally opening the wrong gate Amur tigers Tomak and Micha came into the same enclosure and within seconds Tomak attacked Micha which was deadly wounded :(.

I might go to Leipzig later this year, I went before in 2013, but didn't see the pangolins... There seems to be a specific time when they are active - when?! :)

There's a sign on the enclosure with a cardboard clock to indicate the feeding time - that's the time to head there as it's a virtual guarantee of seeing them. It was about 1pm/2pm when I was last there, as I recall - best thing is to go to the enclosure first thing on arrival and check the time for that day. :)
 
Or ask the very nice people at the Safari office at the entrance before entering the zoo-they should know the feeding time of the pangolins.Last time I've been to the Zoo, feeding time was at 11:30.
 
Free-flying King Vultures would be awesome in Gondwanaland! I want to revisit just to see that!
 
For the first time in 23 years 2 Chilean flamingos have been hatched and 5 more eggs are still being incubated :).
 
For the first time a Caribbean flamingo chick hatched at the South-America-aviary.

All three flamingo species (Lesser, Caribbean, Chilean) bred this year successfully.

I applaud that development, but I would still like to see at some point the Caribbeans moved out, so both aviaries have single species only (and not a chance at any crossbreeding ..).
