    The pair of Amur Tigers in 2003 were the same pair as now, Ryeka and Ulysses. They have three children together. Tinka in 2003, later transferred to the Servion Zoo in Switzerland. In 2004, Ryeka got another two cubs, Ingrid Alexandra and Rex. Ingrid Alexandra was transferred to Park Lymphne Animal Park in England in 2005, while Rex is still living with his parents in Kristiansand.

    A 2 year Golden lion tamarin female has come from Copenhagen zoo. In some weeks a male will arrive from London zoo and they hope to breed them.

    Dozens of children witnessed a giraffe being gored to death by an antelope at a Norwegian zoo on Easter Monday.
    Melvin the giraffe had got his head stuck in a fence when he was attacked by an eland antelope walking in the same enclosure at Kristiansand zoo, around 200 miles south of Oslo.
    Zoo vets rushed to the scene, but were unable to save the five-year-old giraffe, who died in front of shocked families.

    I couldn't find any information about new spieces. It would be very nice, though. With the number of spieces and number of animals they currently have, it will look rather empty.

    I uploaded approximately 140 photos from Kristiansand Zoo into the gallery. A comprehensive review of the zoo will appear on my Snowleopard's 2022 Road Trip: Denmark, Sweden & Norway thread.
