    Good initiative. It would be helpful if further zoos be involved (as you may know there is a Alpine wide initiative for reintroduction of captive-bred ibex into the wilds which has helped put back the species from where it was previously extirpated).

    I suspect that this leaves Planckendael with only 2 ibex (I thought - if my memory serves me correctly - they previously had 4 and they are on phase out).

    The 4 Asian small-clawed otter young had their first check-up by the vet. Everything is OK and they have also been sexed : 1 male and 3 females :)
