A Barbary macaque confiscated last week was too old and too imprinted to be released and was therefor placed at Rabat Zoo.
It seems tha you are very interested in some non-EAZA zoos vogelcommando? Such zoos in Kazakhstan, Morroco, Ukraine, India (I think that was your thread)? Do you ever visited such zoos, let say in peripherial nations to EU? Have you visited some Balkan zoo? Actually It is quite interesting to me too, how all these zoos are developing... or not developing
New hippo and croc facilities have opened at the zoo. https://www.facebook.com/RabatZoo/photos/pcb.1192005237476428/1192005207476431/?type=3&theater
No not visited sofar a zoo in the countries you mentioned and yes I'm very intrested in zoos in such "unknown" zoo-countries. From my active time as zoo-keeper I still have some contacts with quite a number of persons and zoos. If I would have some more time and some more money I surtainly would visit a lot of these countries to take a view myself .
(Idk if this is considered as ''bumping'' or such , if it does I'm really sorry) I visited Rabat Zoo not so long ago (Around March - April 2016 , the fourth time I visit it after it's renovation in 2012) and I must say it changed a lot (in a good way) from for example my visit in 2006 . Now the zoo is housing about 130 ~ species (Mainly common ones in captivity with some exceptions such as the Campbell's Mona Monkey - 6 holders in Europe , the Indian emerald dove - 8 holders in Europe , or the Barbary Squirrel - No holders in Europe and (I think) in America etc... ). It (the zoo) has a surface area of 50 hectares (about 123 acres) divided in 5 sections each representing a ''biome'' : Atlas Mountains , Wetlands areas , Tropical rainforest , African Savanna , Desert . IIRC they are part of an Atlas lion's breeding program , and they are currently holding 32 (33 ?) of them ... I wish , I still had the pictures ... (I lost them with my camera and practically all the photos of zoos I visited previously in what seemed to be a crash ) . (Oh and btw , just so you don't worry they are renovating the Ain Sebaa (Casa) zoo to ''international norms'' (inspired by the Bioparc Valencia) and are planning to make an aquarium in the same city with ~ 500 species (inspired by L'AquĆ rium de Barcelone and by the Oceanarium de Lisbonne)
A seven-year-old girl has sadly died after a visit to the zoo where she was hit in the head by a stone which an elephant threw. Press release (in French): http://rabatzoo.ma/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/communique---de-presse-elephant.pdf
Thats realy sad ! I remember that an African elephant ( breeding ) male at Opel Zoo - Gemany had to put down while he also enjoyed throwing stones to the visitors .
