ZooParc de Beauval Zooparc de Beauval news 2025

I'm glad when zoos are able to do cross-continental transfers like this to improve genetic diversity (such as Minnesota Zoo? importing jaguars from Belize)

There has been numerous cross-continental transferts with Beauval in recent years, for a lot of species from the Duikers to the Meerkats.
I add that French Guiana belongs to French territory, so the transferts are probably easier, in the respect of general wildlife and health regulations. Many transfers of Jaguars, Anteaters... happened between mainland France and the French Caribbean zoos.

I assume having large overseas territories like that makes it easier. Can't say the same for Hawaiian marine fauna though...

For red-faced spider monkeys in particular, France's overseas territories play an important role within the EEP, with three holders (French Guiana, Martinique and Guadeloupe) and several transfers and births in recent years.
 
The male Lowland Gorilla EURO has just left Saint-Martin-la-Plaine to Beauval.
Espace Zoologique - Officiel on Instagram: "AU REVOIR EURO ! Hier, Euro a quitté notre établissement pour rejoindre le @zoobeauval où il va pouvoir commencer une nouvelle vie au sein d’un groupe de femelles. Avant son départ, notre équipe a procédé à son anesthésie afin de l’installer en toute sécurité dans sa caisse de transport. Nous avons profité de son sommeil pour réaliser un bilan de santé complet. L’anesthésie d’un gorille reste toujours un moment impressionnant. On se retrouve face à toute la puissance de cet animal : une musculature massive, des dents imposantes malgré son régime végétarien, une peau très épaisse et des mains d’une taille remarquable. Après les examens, les soigneurs ont porté Euro – et ses quelques 200 kg – jusqu’à sa caisse de transport. Il est bien arrivé à Beauval, où il sera prochainement présenté aux femelles. #transfert #gorille #gorilla #primate #zoo #conservation #animaux #animals #lyon #stetienne"
 
I think the information went unnoticed, but under the post announcing Beauval Zoo’s new feature, the park states that the quokka were an editing mistake and not one of the species that will be present next year. I find that surprising from Beauval, but it makes me wonder: wasn’t this video perhaps made quickly to ‘drown the dolphin,’ so to speak?

Consequently ASATO and his sons have been transferred on the "bachelor" island that has remainesd empty for a couple of months.
(Seen on a Beauval fan account on Facebook "Les balades de Frimousse")

No it's just their communication agence that messed up and no one checked before posting the video I think. Constructions started in september or around that date so. Oh and at first they denied on their socials that it was a Quokka and said that it was a Wombat

As a subscriber to their YouTube channel, i noticed that they reposted their AI video "correcting" some things. The quokka is replaced by a wallaby and the grey horse is replaced by a pinto Shetland pony.

6 Red-faced Spider Monkeys have been transferred from the Zoo de Guyane (French Guiana) to Beauval.
That's a new species for Beauval.

A real important and genetically very valuable addition!

I do hope more will follow suit or that Guyana France and Sranan - Surinam may have some for of collaboration on red-faced spider monkeys in twine with EAZA/EEP affiliation and participation!
