    Western sanctions? The food import ban is solely a voluntary decision of Russians.

    Fossas and hyraxes will arrive in October (fossas already live at the off-view breeding facility, don't know if they import more or just exhibit the existing ones). Hyraxes exhibit is built at the Elephant house :)
    A pair of red pandas will be transferred from Dublin zoo soon.

    Only one red panda from Dublin zoo arrived.
    And it will be kept alone, with intention that 'numerous visitors would help it to cope with loneliness' (quoting the zoo's press secretary)
    I suspect that 2 animals arrived as planned but one died.

    Moscow Zoo has a good record with the Pygmy slow lory and was prop. the first European zoo to breed this species in 1985. Now the zoo recieved 2 new females - one 3 years old, the other 4 years . With these 2 new animals Moscow now has 7 animals of this species.
