At the moment Vienna Zoo is at a position most zoo marketing agencies can only dream of: a Giant Panda cub, a twin birth of Polar Bears and probably soon a Koala birth. Now the zoo giftshop just has to decide in which colours to dye first the extra plush toys ordered...

I loved Innsbruck zoo, especially the Lammergeir. I loved the marmot exhibit, but they weren't out!
I've now seen them in the wild (you have too haven't you hornbill) |

I spent all day in Innsbruck when I was there, so in the late afternoon, I saw both marmots, beavers and Lizzie, the white squirrel
 . It really is a fantastic park.

I've seen Lizzie, she's a bit mad isn't she.
The bison and Wild boar were having a big argument while I was there!! Both had young though...... |

Has the zoo got the same $1m/year deal with China as the US zoos? Does that mean that it pays "rent" on the new baby of $500,000? At €12 per adult admission that would be an extra 42000 visitors/year. I suppose a big city zoo like Vienna can manage that so it is likely to be a good investment.

@Pygathrix: As far as I know, every zoo keeping Giant pandas outside of China has to pay the "leasing fees" (for I think they might be slightly variable from zoo to zoo). The only exceptions are PPPs ("political present pandas") like Bao-bao in Berlin Zoo.

Yes but do you have to pay extra for any babies? What if you had a pair which produced two sets of twins in two years? (highly unlikely I know) - it could bankrupt the zoo!

Giant Panda cubs born abroad become automatically the property of China; so once they're old enough to be seperated from their mothers, China decides what to do with them; usually, they're brought back to China. As far as I know, the zoo pays leasing costs for the rented Pandas, not for their offspring.

Sun or anyone, do you know what the exact arrangement with the panda's is for Vienna Zoo? As far as i know the panda's where "gifted" because the zoo celebrated it's 150th birthday. Some people actually reckon they are now the property of Vienna Zoo, but i'm pretty sure that's not the case.
I do think they got their loan gifted though, so is it? And if so, how long do they not have to pay untill that gift runs out? |

Vienna, or rather Austria, made the more or less typical "Panda" arrangement, joined by the WWF, with China: the Pandas are going to stay in Vienna till 2013 (ten years period). During this time span, Chinese biologists study in Austria and some of their Austrian colleagues will work in China. Additionally, China might receive money (exact amount?) from the zoo for conservation purposes.
