ZooChat Challenge Global 2021

You really don't need to, you can genuinely stop now and I'll be happy... :p:D

Sincerely apologize :) I am not pushing hard, but I am afraid that one unfortunate event, conserning the other challenge, can bring me in a zoo, that I didn't plan this year and I suppose you not going to like...

Yes! The last is quite painful :)...
 
Frankfurt!!!! :eek::mad:

It is Frankfurt, right? :p:D

No actually, I have seen everything Frankfurt has to offer as a Ungulates, but I am still missing the California Bighorn Sheep. Since they left Burgers, only Plzen left..
 
22/10 Krefeld zoo
Krefeld has one curious small cave in the Reinforest house with two species of bats.They also had the only Gambian epauletted bats in Europe, but unfortunately they died in the fire.

38. Southern long-nosed bat/Leptonycteris curasoae
