Yes, perhaps precocious ... but behaviour not unlike a full-grown bull (under fully natural conditions).

It has been 2+ years now and Pambo is just about to get to the right age ... at 18. He has ca. 5-6 cows with him in the right age brackets. Are some of these cows now pregnant or being mated by Pambo regularly?

No, that was not Pambo. The elephant you mean is Abu : * 25.04.2001 by A.I. in Vienna, Tembo (Colchester, U.K.) x Sabi (now: Beekse Bergen, NL).
Abu, an African Bush elephant at Halle Zoo
Abu killed his keeper february 2005
Accidents with Elephants in zoo and circus
and left Vienna summer 2006. He is now living in Zoo Halle(Germany) together with 0,4 (Mafuta, Bibi, Tana and Panya), former Berlin Tierpark: http://www.asianelephant.net/loxodonta/halle/halle.htm#

Cabarceno is going to get new gorilla female in October. Moja from Prague. Born Dec. 2004, Richard x Kijivu. She was then not only the first gorilla born on czech soil but her birth was quite a story as an encouraging sign for the zoo rebounding from devastating floods in 2002. Succesful gorilla troop in Prague got a lot of followers even abroad because anyone can watch them via online webcameras.

Currently Moja lives with her father, mother, two younger full-brothers (Tatu and Kiburi), Kijivu's older sister Shinda, old wild caught female Kamba and currently pregnant Bikira.

What is the score with white rhino?
Is male Yuman exported elsewhere?
Will a 3rd female come in?

No official news to confirm it.
Are you sure that the video not shows the baby born in past October 2011?

By the way the birth it's confirmed today in a local newspaper.
