    Heavy snow-fall was to much for one of the aviaries at Beekse Bergen yesterday, the netting broke and 8 spoonbills and 2 hamerheads escaped.

    In fact only 3 spoonbills and the 2 hamerheads escaped contrary to these news reports. On top, all birds are on site and staff from SBB are on call to try and capture them.

    Superb! Where (zoos) did the lemurs originate from?

    What is the plan for the Madagascar area long term?

    As far as I'm informed the Red-bellied lemurs will share an island with the Red Ruffed lemurs. Also Belted Ruffed lemurs are planned for the same island.

    About where the Red-bellied lemurs orginate from, I'm not sure but I guess they came from the now closed Dierenpark Wissel - Epe.

    two young recently arrived cheetahs escaped from their enclosure on Sunday afternoon. the incident occured when a parkranger jeep crossed a remote controlled gate that leeds from the cheetah enclosure in to the rhino paddock. According to an eyewitness the jeep with trailer drove through the gate, but the driver didn't drive far enough through the gate for it to close on time. The two youngsters ran past the jeep in to the rhino paddock, after 1.5 hours the keepers succeeded in chasing them back in their own enclosure.

    Today an almost complete sun-eclips could be seen above Western Europe ( at least at places where no clouds disturbed the sight - like at the place I was :( ) and at the moment of the eclips a camel was born at Beekse Bergen. Its a female and she is called Kusuf which means "eclips" in Arabic.
