    Does anyone know if the zoo still has Horned screamer in its collection?
    Are they related to the stock at Walsrode?

    Three weeks ago a female Scimitar-horned oryx (Oryx dammah) was born, not sure if this is a zoo first breeding for Zoo Schmiding.

    The newborn is a male.

    Recently female Western lowland gorilla (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) Gaika arrived from Madrid Zoo and last month female Milele arrived from Zoo Wilhelma. Zoo Schmiding now has 1.2 Western lowland gorillas.

    Recently a Western sitatunga (Tragelaphus spekii gratus) was born.
