Any idea what happend with Giraffe Kebo *11.02.13, could only find the info he was send to Portugal. And what happend with Giraffe Triana *18.04.14 missed her since Summer 2015?!
Were Shaira, Lluna, and Kenya (The giraffes that were sent over to Cabarceno from Valencia) non-subspecific individuals then?
In June a Cape porcupine (Hystrix africaeaustralis) was born, this is the first time that this species has bred succesfully in Bioparc Valencia. Source: Instagram of Bioparc Valencia (03/07/2021) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ2xq05i3uq/
The last klipspringer in Europe was born in Frankfurt Zoo in 1996 and turned 25 today BIOPARC celebra el 25 aniversario del único saltarrocas de Europa
Is there any way that bioparc could acquire any more pure members of this species for breeding. It’s a very unique species I don’t wish to see disappear from Europe.
Birth News: The first birth of the year! A female Mhorr gazelle (Nanger dama mhorr) was born at Bioparc Valencia!
Or the US, at that. It’s also likely a specimen or two could pop up on International Zoo-Services, which I believe works with the WAZA and has done some good work in Spain. They could also get a pure African Leopard too if they were to look over on Zoo-Services as there is currently one available iirc, so a kilpspringer doesn’t sound too far out of the question.
Birth news!: A White-naped mangabey (Cercocebus atys lunulatus) has been born at the BioParc! Offspring of Torcuata, one of the three adult females in the park's group. The animal gave birth in view of the public.
News: Rafiki, the park's troop's dominant male Drill (Mandrillus leucophaeus) has been euthanized due to the diagnosis of lymphoma and the strong deterioration this kind of cancer produces. A genuine pity, he arrived from Hannover when the park first opened and was a stunning animal that has been the father of 14ish individuals. He will be missed.
