The crocodile exibith is very small. But good for caimans. Yes, the kordofan(Giraffa Camelopadaris Antiquorum) will leave the zoo. Two of the feamels are pregnant!

The girafs from the Zoo will go to the Planckendael park because they open a brand new, large exhibit for them in june. The Antwerp Zoo will receive a mother Giraf with her child from the Belfast zoo in Ireland.
I think the crocs also are moving to the Rotterdam zoo because they're starting with a big project over there. They also will get crocs from a zoo in Germany I think...

Today 2 of the giraffes were moved to Planckendael. Tommorow they do another 3 animals. On the 13th of June, 2 Rotschilgiraffes form Belfast will come. These animals get more space because they get the space from the Anoa's.

Today 4 Spectacled Caimans (Caiman crocodilus) from Parc Paradisio arrived at the Antwerp Zoo. They replace the 2 female Nile Crocodiles (Crocodylus niloticus) because they go to the Rotterdam Zoo for a project. Antwerp Zoo will get 2 more Spectacled Caimans from the Belgian city Liege (I think from the local aquarium, but I'm not sure...).
