I just clicked on the articles and see they have underwater viewing! That is awesome. Of course you are only likely to see it in warm weather and I have wanted to visit Zurich in winter for a chance of snow with snow leopards, so I am torn. (And yes I do know Zurich gets much less snow than other parts of Switzerland).

Not sure if Zurich have the same plan, but in Leipzig there is a daily 'elephant bath' when elephants are bribed into the water with food (and as noted above, both exhibits are indoors anyway): http://www.zoochat.com/443/underwater-elephant-leipzig-02-09-11-a-239936/
 
Unfortunately all Black rhinos will leave Zurich next year. They are going to keep White rhinoceros in the future.
 
Really ? In that cruel building ? And yes, it make sense to change from ordinary black, to the high endangerd white rhinos.

Strange, how times can change-it 1980,the zoo has send his pair white rhinos to Augsburg to get more space for the blacks...

Ps:Any source for that information ?
 
The White rhinos will not replace the Black rhinos immediately. White rhinos will come to the zoo as part of a new savannah during the next years.

WANDA, born in Zurich in 1996 will move to Rotterdam soon.
 
ATTN ZOOMANIAC. Sorry to temporarily hijack this thread, but I cannot PM ZooManiac because his inbox is full. I am hoping he will see this thread.

Due to winter flight cancellations in USA, I am rebooked for a later flight and will land in Zurich shortly after our planned dinner meet Wednesday. Can we reschedule for Thursday night instead? Just meet me at hotel same time on Thursday. Thanks!
 
No problem, will meet you on Thursday, same time.

And sorry for my full inbox, will go to delete old messages right now.
 
New species at Zürich : a group of Barbary zebramice moved in. They came from Basle and a German breeder.
 
If the present Rhino house will be rebuild into an australian house-what will happen to the Pygmy Hippos ? I guess, they will leave the zoo ?
