Houses are open again. No luck with the armadillo in the monkey house today, but a surprise addition due to a new species in the Brehm building:

Tierpark Berlin (03.07.2021)

11) Indian Flying Fox (Pteropus medius)
12) Northern Treeshrews (Tupaia belangeri)

For those interested: The treeshrew(s) live in the former exhibit of the Palawan Bengal Cat. I don't know where that one went.
