Lowland Gorilla, Shatilla died today following a short illness

To our great regret we have today unfortunately have to say goodbye to the adult female gorilla Shatilla. She had been seriously ill for several days, but this morning her condition deteriorated drastically. Our vet has Shatilla therefore extensively studied directly, but her situation was so bad that he unfortunately in consultation with biologists and carers euthanasia has to decide. Pathologists at the University of Utrecht going to do extensive research into the causes of the disease of our gorilla.

 

Two couples of Gambel's Quails and Scaled Quails have arrived in Burgers Zoo. All 8 animals live free in the Desert.

Chaca chacalaca have entered the collection, the animals will be introduced in Burgers Bush, bringing the number of free flying bird species up too 35 again (after the last pink pigeon recently went away / died).

 

0.4 African Lions arrived from Givskud on 13th March. They replace the previous adult females who recently moved to Dvur Kralove

 

I guess it should be Chaco chacalaca .

Burgers has kept for some time a brother pair of Binturongs. Now one of the is send to another zoo and Burgers recieved instead a new female.

 

For the TV-serie "Burger's Zoo Natuurlijk" the film-crew wanted to make use of a drone to make some clips of the famous Chimp-enclosure from above. One Chimp wasn't happy with this distutbance of its privicy, took a branch and took down the drone !
The tape made by the drone was saved ( the drone itself not ) and can be seen here ( in Dutch ) :
