Beauval zoo news 2011
Old 11-01-2011

Two female African elephants are pregnant, both pregnant females M'Bili and M'Dala were impregnated using AI and sperm from wild elephants.
The calves are due in the summer of 2012 .

A new Himalayan exhibit is also scheduled to open this year too, featuring amongst others snow leopards, red pandas, entellus langurs, muntjac deer and mishmi takin (possibly mixed with markhor).

There was a report on German television in October or November on artificial insemination indicating a female was pregnant. Beauval had left South Africa to harvest wild sperm

Sorry for my english.

Here's the plan of new Himalayan exhibit. It was aired on Planète TV

I can't figure out where exactly this new Himalayan section would be placed. Can anyone explain it?

@Yoman35: Est-ce que tu peux expliquer où exactément dans le zooparc il se trouve, cette nouvelle section d'himalaya? Est-il à côté de rhinozeros indiennes?

Thanks Yoman35

By the way: I saw on the former zoonaute forum a discussion about bringing Giant Pandas to Beauval.

Is there a real chance or is this just a rumor?

Possible but if it's true, I do not agree on how. We should be happy but nobody talks about it (Press) because it is as well an animal star. Canada will have pandas, they talk.
The rumor has been going on for years

Waiting for the next months

This will be the first time a calf is born of an insemination performed with semen taken from a wild male in South Africa. The first sperm bank in Europe created by Beauval few months ago is delivering. Now, patience: the little calf does point the tip of his trunk than 23 months after its conception ... dated September!

Are there just 0,2 markhors ? Or did the 0,2 arive in April and the rest in 2009 alongside the Takins.

Any thoughts, ideas on what the other species might be. Dare i suggest giant panda's?

Both the house and the outdoor enclosures, seem custom made for giant pandas and i struggle to see any other suitable species.
