The oldest Tasmanian Devil CAPE has passed away.

Otherwise, it seems that the Indian Porcupines will be replaced by an African species in the future (without any schedule for now).

(Reported by Sophie and Juliette on Howtank forum/chat)

Is it likely the European region is focussing on some of the African porcupine species now?
 
Shoots of the old porcupine enclosure

these plants dont look very compatible with porcupines…

Hoping to see soon the new animals!

Some news of the park:

Toco toucan retired from "Serre tropicale". The enclosure is empty, but there is a signage that will host Pesquet's parrot

Long-crested eagle back again to the raptors area, they are now in the old himalayan vultures enclosure.

The terrarium for Vietnamese newt in the dome has been covered up, maybe will be replaced for other species (is sad, but this species is hard to spot in the terrarium and this space)

The work in the old porcupine enclosure is finished (no more construction fences, workers...), so let's wait for the new hosters.

I'm happy for the Long-crested Eagles, it's a true rarity within the European zoos.
I agree that the newts were practically a no-show, I failed to see them the couple of times I visited Beauval this winter.
 
Two major exhibits are being refurbished in the Dome (plus the little bridge near the Komodo Dragons and the Spoonbill feeding point) :
  • the Fruit Bat/Giant Tortoise exhibit is closed to the public access, the animals are still present and visible behind the mesh ;
  • the double Tomistoma pool is emptied, without any animal.
 
Some small news:

  • In the old Pesquet's parrot enclosure in the "serre des oiseaux" is empty and no signal of future species
  • The Pyrrhura cruentata that was in the enclosure of trogon, cock-of-the-rock, sloths and agoutis is now in the walkthrough area
  • The Leadbeater's cockatoo are back again on-show in the "Indonesia aviary"
  • In the dome, the work in the tomistoma pond is finished and the animals are back again, the two wood bridges are almost finished. Also I saw a new species for me, red-crested turaco (didn't see in the dome but yes in the "serre des gorilles"
  • In the "Gran Voliere Soudamericaine", king vultures are back again (two juveniles). I also could see a few white ibis (not signed in the park or in zootierliste)
For regular visitors, do you know which time of the day is better for see active the tamandua?
 
We have new-old boy in the office. In the Serre des Oiseaux the former enclosure for Pesquet's parrot is now for Channel-billed Toucan and in his aviary, Lorius domicellus are back.

In the enclosure of tapirs, capybaras and south american waterfowls, are now a pair of young common rheas.
 
Confirmed new species for the old porcupine enclosure: black-tailed prairie dog. Maybe other species could be more interested, but for the side of the enclosure is not bad choice.

The walkthrough area for Rodrigues Fruit Bats is open again.

Underlines what is possible if you are determined to have good relations with other regional zoo associations and inter zoo contacts globally. Another plus is that zoo executive and curatorial management at Beauval have the balls and guts to go for the unusual or species that normally do not get the limelight.

It helps they have the money, too..

I’d completely missed this news. Are there any other zoos trying to obtain them?

Yep, it’s the money..

Fantastic news though, let’s hope they’re a success!

No, it is inspiration and ambition that breeds success ..., money is just a tool in creation and if the first two are adequately dealt with attraction, attractiveness, success and thus money will automatically be generated and as the process and development expands so the amount of money generated and re-invested into accelerates....
