Batu Secret Zoo acquired two more Sumatran clouded leopard (Neofelis diardi diardi) from Bukit Kinantan Zoo or Bukittinggi Zoo in West Sumatra. https://www.instagram.com/p/CMWgflaDtB4/?igshid=gjrxpn5po7b6
They have five of them in 2016, with one died a year later. Two of them is sent to Batu Secret Zoo, so I guess there would be two remain in the Bukit Kinantan Zoo if they didn't acquired a new specimen.
The Sumatran clouded leopard was in exchange with a pair of llama, alpaca, and marmoset PERTUKARAN SATWA BATU SECRET ZOO DAN TAMAN MARGA SATWA BUKIT KINANTAN (TMSBK) – Batu Secret Zoo According to this page, the only zoo in Indonesia that keep the Sunda clouded leopards are Batu Secret Zoo, Taman Safari Prigen, Gembira Loka Zoo, Bukit Kinantan Zoo, and Faunaland
Liberec Zoo has sent 2 Golden Chinese takins to Batu Secret Zoo. Today morning they are scheduled to touch Jakarta airport via Qatar Airways cargo. I hope they get used to the hot weather (we had new snow yesterday).
Do you know if the Batu zoo will get also female takins from China or Japan? Because Liberec sends only two young males (1 and 2 years olds, still in dull brown colour). And I am still a little worried about their aclimatisation and heat shock. Takins are in full winter coat and will take time till they will shed it. Liberec is a mountain town with a small ski areal within its limits, for better idea of their climate I link an old unrelated vid.
Not yet, but they often gave more information of the animals they acquire when they arrive. Like when Bertus (Indian rhinoceros) and Chico arrived, they said that they will acquire a mate for them in the future, I think they would say the same for their golden takins. They don't specificaly say what zoo they will acquire the mate from, so I'm not sure if its China or Japan
Batu Secret Zoo reintroduced the South American tapir (Tapirus terrestris). Currently, only three zoo in Indonesia that keep this species: Maharani Zoo, Gembira Loka Zoo, and Batu Secret Zoo. https://www.instagram.com/p/CMtWj5TIl1K/?igshid=1x5hdk4d5rhif
I wish they would stick to Malayan tapir and create space to breed the good number of currently not represented wild founders (of which a good number exist).
Two zebra species, Chapman's and Grant's, is born at Batu Secret Zoo. Gimbul, the newborn male Grant's zebra, is the second of its species to be born at the zoo. While a unnamed newborn male Chapman's zebra is the fourth of its species to be born at the zoo. https://www.instagram.com/p/CM8ha4aD8tL/?igshid=tpuohnmpk3oo
The same flight also contained 3 female Nyalas (* 2019) from Zoo Jihlava, so how many nyalas does Batu Secret Zoo currently have? Source: Instagram of Zoo Jihlava (24/03/2021) Login • Instagram
I think so. Batu Secret Zoo often acquired one species, sometimes a pair or more than that but with same gender. Like with the Indian rhinoceros (Male) and giant otter (Also male). They learn how to keep that species first, and when they think that they learn enough, they would acquire a mate for that individual.
A male mandrill is born at Batu Secret Zoo, name Seraton. Seraton is the fourth child of a couple named Kongo (Male) and Sophia (Female). https://www.instagram.com/p/CNJ275wja6L/?igshid=1azm3xtns69lu
