They had Parma Wallaby in there till I think fall 2021 and then when I visited in December, there was a male koala. This was the first time I saw the bettongs in there, and they were signed too.

Is this a zoo? From their website it looks like they're a veterinary hospital that has a visitor center where they do animal encounters.
~Thylo

Wildwood was easily the biggest disappointment of the lot, with several no-shows and several more off-site due to enclosure maintenance. But hey, that owl count....
Does Wildwood still have that native bat aviary that nobody is ever going to see anything in during visitor hours?
~Thylo
~Thylo
Sure does. Not that anything there would surely count.
Had a great time today at the newly opened building Empire of Cats/Creatures of the Night at Berlin zoo . If one consider ABH, the German capital is once again Heaven for the Carnivora lovers with around 50 taxa . Berlin Zoo utilizing the given space the best way possible and many of the small Predators have beautifuly designed exhibits. Some of the Big cats, on the other side, are not so lucky. Hopefully the plans for expanding their outdoor space will work out. Had four no-shows, but hardly can complain.

Tierpark Berlin is changing his face really fast these days. Many big projects are on the way and the animals shifting their enclousures all the time. I saw the 4 Gnus, opposite the Reedbuck exhibit, where one more baby was born
Besides a lot of offspring, there are two new exciting inhabitants - Balabac chevrotain and the Guianan bearded saki. I couldn't find the Bush Dogs. Their exhibit is occupied by Maned Wolves now. White-bearded Masked Palm Civet didn't show up either. 13.03.22 Tierpark Berlin

Sadly the zoo has a few less species that qualify this year due to changes in the lineup of the Australia house, but still a good bunch of species. As well due to unseasonably cold weather for South Texas, the Philippine & Saltwater Crocodiles were off display.
