Yes, ZooParc de Beauval is the only intistution who breeds Manatees and had two births.
The first produced a male and the second birth produced a viable pair of twins (a male and a female). This gemellar birth is probably the only one in the world. Actually, Beauval have 3-2 Manatees. In Europe, you may see Manatees in several intistutions: Arnhem (Netherlands) 2-1 Nuremberg (Germany) 1-2 Odense (Denmark) 2-3 Randers (Denmark) 1-1 Zoomarine (Portugal) 1-0 I'm not able to tell you the ages and the names of Bornean Orang-Utans (3-5) but the group came at first from Jersey who bred the two species (Bornean and Sumatran) in two separate enclosure... At now, Jersey breed only the Sumatran species. About Orang Utan, the oldest male in the world, still reproductive, is Major who is 47 years old. He is of Sumatran species and living in Zoo de La Boissière-du-Doré, France. (group: 5-3-1) |

The Animal Park Berlin also keeps manatis, 2 males and 3 females I think.
I am not sure if Major is really the oldest sumatran orang utan in the world, isn`t Charly from Frankfurt older? He turned 50 at the end of 2007, and he sired his last young maybe 2 years ago. |

You're right. I forgot Berlin Tierpark!
About Major, I heard he is the oldest, but maybe this info isn't exact.. |

Charlie(estimated d.o.b 1957) at Frankfurt is reckoned to be about five years older than 'Major' (estimated d.o.b 1962) at La Boissiere.
They both arrived first at other zoos- Stuttgart and Duisburg respectively before moving on to their current homes. They are definately the two oldest males(at least in Europe). |

Pardon, I effectively mean that Beauval was the only FRENCH institution who breeds Manatees and the only one in the world (I heard of) who obtained a viable gemellar birth.
And following in the same message you took down, I spoke about the others institutions who breed manatees in Europe. Surely, I meant that Beauval is the only french institution who breed manatees... Sorry for bad understanding from my apart... |

Ok. It's just that all the ones you mentioned don't have breeding groups, but I can see now that you meant which zoos in Europe holds manatees. Those manatee twins sounds cool
 . Can you tell me a bit about the manatee enclosure in Beauval? I have seen the enclosures in Odense, Randers, Arnhem, Nuremburg and Berlin, so you can compare it to them if that makes it easier to describe.

I heard that Nurnberg zoo (Germany) also got twins manatees... but I'm not sure wether they survived or not... but this zoo obtains regular breeding successes with this specie.
