Hi, At the beginning of May I will be visiting Madrid Zoo for the first time and would have two questions. Are there still Muellers gibbons and Spanish ibexes and where in the zoo can I find them ? Am I right in saying that the Verraauxs eagle can be seen only during the bird show ? Any response really appreciated. Jakub
Hi Jakub. The two answers to your questions are yes. At least during my last visit in 2014. The giant panda female has been artificially inseminated.

A Giant Panda was born in the early hours of this morning. The cub is believed to be female (a first for the zoo) Giant panda born in Madrid zoo
It's a female, and it is the first Sumatran elephant born in europe. The zoo got 1.2 -Valentino, Cynthia and Nova, last year from Berlin tierpark. The mother was already pregnant, when she was transported to Madrid.
