    Early morning is your best bet, but it’s no guarantee. Do keep in mind currently the Rotterdam Zoo is closed off to all non-season pass holders.

    Mhorr gazelle (Nanger dama mhorri) born at Diergaarde Blijdorp/Rotterdam Zoo on Saturday. Father is Jengo, mother is Sipke, the fawn has been named Mandy (so presumably female). The young has already gone outside and met the other members of the herd.

    Timber did not move to Switzerland, but to Emmen in the Netherlands. The Mekong, bull from Emmen, moved to Switzerland.

    I wonder when they will be able to ship out Fahim from Belgium. Are the borders for this kind of transport still closed (Is it closed for domestic / livestock too)?

    A major horse transporter moved an American Mammoth Donkey to Finland for us, by road from the UK - three weeks ago on 4th May Hamerton Zoo Park - Animal Park Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire .
    I am not in the office, so for the moment cannot check to see if the route involved Belgium...
