Bad news. Someone broke in and stole silvery marmosets and golden lion tamarins. Let's hope the thief is caught and the animals returned.

Sadly this scenario seems to be getting more and more common :( It won't be long before the only way to keep them without the risk of theft will be high security, offshow facilities. Keeping fingers crossed that the Beauval animals are recovered as soon as possible
 
The biggest development at Beauval this year is an extension to the current African area to include Common Hippos for the first time. This morning after several months of construction and a lot of hard work the first Hippo finally arrived. Young male, Kvido came from Ostrava. Further Hippos are expected in the coming weeks
 
2 Notable avian arrivals are pairs each of Andean cock of the rock and great blue turaco.
 
Can anybody confirm the arrival of the female pygmy hippo"Lani"from Basle Zoo, and does the zoo already has a male ? So I hope, its true and Beauval is one of the few european zoo with both hippo species, elephants and two rhino species.

A common hippo arrived from Basel as far as I am aware, not a pygmy hippo...
 
Our friends at Zoonaute have mentioned that African Elephant, N'Dala is due to undergo AI treatment this week. If successful this will be the 2nd birth for N'Dala following the arrival of Rungwe in 2012
