At Zoo Heidelberg a Tufted deer has been born. It's a female and the third young of the breeding-pair. 2011 a female was born and 2012 a male.
The last and only White-tailed Ichneumon (Ichneumia albicauda)in Germany, has died recently.Unfortuntely, the zoo never got any females for him. A new enclosure for racoons was opened in April, which is pretty nice.
In 1990 I got quite excited, white-tailed mongoose at London. Then I realised it was a yellow mongoose.
According to Zootierliste, there is another holder of them in europe-Tierpark Riegelsee in Switzerland.
At the beginning of 2014 Heidelberg recieved a pair of hand-raised Madagascar crested ibises. The birds felt so at home that they started a breeding-attemp and at the moment 2 young are in the nest and being parent-raised
Also the zoo has started doing preperations for the construction of the new enclosure for syrian brown bears and corsac foxes, planned to be opened next year.
By the end of 2015, a Crowned Sifaka male "Manao" (8 years old) will be sent to Heidelberg, and Heidelberg will become the very first German zoo to participate in the sifaka EEP.
