    Not one but atleast 5 European wildcats (Felis silvestris silvestris) were born earlier this year.

    This year the zoo is celebrating her 60th birthday!

    The latest edition of Zooquaria includes information about the Bavarian pine voles. The three births at Alpenzoo had seven offspring; it is now thought that the zoo has around 10% of the global population of these voles.

    While currently kept off-show, they will be kept on display in the new 'Untertierisch' enclosure - the article says this will happen 'later in the year'.

    Information about the births and the pine voles in general can be seen on pages 6-7 in the link below:

    There is currently at least one unlabelled Common Rock Thrush (Monticola saxatilis) in the mixed aviary for mountain hare, black grouse and nutcracker.

    Recently the last female Eurasian nutcracker (Nucifraga caryocatactes caryocatactes) was send to Zoo Dresden to be paired with a male. According to ZTL Dresden has Spotted nutcrackers (Nucifraga caryocatactes). So I persume that Dresden now has this subspecies and the no subspecies nutcracker.
    Alpenzoo Innsbruck was the first zoo to breed this (sub)species in 1986.
