    The last and only White-tailed Ichneumon (Ichneumia albicauda)in Germany, has died recently.Unfortuntely, the zoo never got any females for him.

    A new enclosure for racoons was opened in April, which is pretty nice.

    In 1990 I got quite excited, white-tailed mongoose at London. Then I realised it was a yellow mongoose.

    At the beginning of 2014 Heidelberg recieved a pair of hand-raised Madagascar crested ibises. The birds felt so at home that they started a breeding-attemp and at the moment 2 young are in the nest and being parent-raised :)

    By the end of 2015, a Crowned Sifaka male "Manao" (8 years old) will be sent to Heidelberg, and Heidelberg will become the very first German zoo to participate in the sifaka EEP. :)
