And the second (and last) one is born, Barbie is the mother.

The second giraffe was not expected before another 2 weeks. It seems biological synchronisation - which often happens in closely associated pregnant females - has done the job in Planckendael. I hope for a female offspring second time around (the first is definitely a male).

The Press said that, they even compared it with the case of the Elephant baby in Blijdorp Rotterdam a few weeks back. But that is according to me a complete different case...

Ow, here a studycase of the new Elephant exhibit of Plackendael, which they want to open in 2011!


At the rightside (down) we see the lionexhibit...

Ow, do you guys want some pics of the Girafbaby's?








At last, there is also a new snowleopard, it is Kedar, born on 10.05.2006 at Sunset Zoo (Manhattan/Kansas, USA). Furter there are again some little capibara's and a little watusi cow...

On 28 april 4 Bonobo's from Stuttgart arrived in Planckendael. Mother Lina (25), and the two sons Louisoko (11) and Lucuma (5) also, even with daugther Lingoyé (1,5). At this moment there are was not a exchange with Bonobo's back to Germany.

At this moment they also annouce a second fase (fase one, the fence is already done) for the pettingzoo in Planckendael. A waste of money to my opinion, i am not a big fan of pettingszoo's in a zoo.
