According to older and more experienced Zoochatters who *have* seen pure mainland subspecies of echidna to compare with those of no known subspecies, the odds are that they are Tachyglossus aculeatus aculeatus as they closely resemble the pure echidna at Planckendael which belongs to said taxon.
 
Today the new exhibit for 1.1 Pygmy Hippos was opened, it is the former elephant house. The outdoor enclosure isn't fished yet and will be opened next spring.The male"Onong"was born 2014 in Zürich, the female"Nimba"2013 at Cerza, Liseux.
 
New species for Zoo Rostock, a proven breeding-pair Green aracaris was obtained.
Also for the single Polar fox female a new male could be obtained, he came from Wildpark Lüneburger Heide.
 
5-year old Gorilla-female Kwane arrived from Zoo Heidelbergen.At Zoo Rostock he will live together with leader Assumbo and females Eyenga, Yene and Zola.
 
The zoos Polar Bears and Penguins are on the move in preparation for building work to begin on the new Polarium development. The 12,000 sqm enclosure will cost 9.75 million euros and replace the current 1950s "bear castle". It is expected to open in 2018

As for its residents - Female Polar Bear, Vilma has now moved to Aalborg on loan. She will likely return to Rostock once the new enclosure is built

Has anyone typed up a review of the Darwineum complex at Zoo Rostock? There are a few photos in the gallery but very little information available about the 2012 addition.

What you could do is go the the German Zoofreunde forum and make an account there, there is a wonderful report on the whole complex with many pictures in the topic "Vorstellung des „Darwineum“ im Zoo Rostock ". Even though it is all in German, with google translate it should work ;)



 
Orangutan born :).

FB : Hsiao-Ning (13) hat am Montag um 10.25 Uhr ihr erstes Baby zur Welt gebracht. Es ist ein Mädchen. Papa ist der 2003 in Rostock geborene Sabas. Die Geburt verlief sehr schnell und ohne jegliche Komplikationen. Hsiao-Ning kümmert sich sehr achtsam und zärtlich um ihr Kleines. Gestern war sie das erste Mal mit ihrem Jungtier auf der Anlage im DARWINEUM zu sehen. Schon bald sollen hier die Namensvorschläge der Tierpfleger zur öffentlichen Abstimmung gestellt werden.
