In 2008, the zoo had a top year. There were more than 200'000 visitors along.
This is a new record, with the takeover in 1995 there were 9'000 visitors.

For the record, in Olmen there was again a babyboom like the call it. The most special birth is a White tiger (King) that will be handraised so far as i can see.

But why am i making this post? To mention that Olmen is getting better. Some of the old (sometimes not legal, but that is in most zoo's with old cages) exhibits are removed, and replaced by better ones. And even the small towercage of the Gibbons is now empty. The Gibbons itself has now the old bear exhibit, with some trees to climb in ofcourse. Not the perfect solution, but sow much better then before.

A perfect sign that Olmen is on the right track!

First elephant (African) has arrived in Olmen:

It is Lukky (27) from circus Renz. (still there property, because she is young, but she can't be used in the circus, she missses here previous trainer to much). They are looking for 3 other elephants in Olmen now (but they admit, they don"t have any idea how now).

They are now also discussing how they should build a permanent exhibit for the elephant. Untill then it stays on the Zebra savanne.
