Beisa Oryx

I didn't realize Tierpark Berlin even kept Beisa oryx (Oryx beisa). Though my information may be outdated, I thought the only ones in Europe were in French zoos and Czech zoos. When did they get them, where did they come from, and what lived in this exhibit prior?

They came this Summer. The enclosure held Chapman's Zebras before, but they left for Sofia zoo.

I think they came from Prague zoo.

@twilighter ah thank you. Why did they ship out their Chapman's zebra?

@UngulateNerd92 not sure, but maybe because they are planing to keep Plain Zebras (Grant's) only in the Zoo.

They're preparing the ground for the future Africa zone project, I assume.

@twilighter ah yes, I figured that may have been the case, but I prefer these exhibits now.

Me too, honestly, but since saw the new Alfred Brehm House feel very positive towards Tierpark's new developments.

@twilighter for the newer developments, I hope they look more like say Munich or Magdeburg than they do say Hannover or Gelsenkirchen. To be frank, the word Erlebnis being mentioned on the map is alarming...
