    Very sad news. If the second calf was born a week later, it might not have happened. The first calf was a cow, the second calf is a bull.

    How many lions have been born at Boras, in photos they seem to have a good sized pride

    I uploaded approximately 80 photos from Boras Zoo into the gallery. A comprehensive review of the zoo will appear on my Snowleopard's 2022 Road Trip: Denmark, Sweden & Norway thread.

    African Elephant bull, Jabu (born 2013) will move to Thiory in the Autumn. He will be joining two other males to form a bachelor herd

    Panzi gave birth yesterday, but the calf passed away shortly after birth, Borås says it got squeezed when the other members of the flock interacted with it (If thats the right word to use, unsure since i’m translating directly from Swedish..) :(

    Herd would be a better pick rather than flock, I believe flock is used for birds.
    Sad news, although I'm glad to see you are keeping us updated on this lovely park @Keiikoa , thanks for that <3

    That's very sad after such along wait for all, inculding Panzi,
    knew what you meant with flock, but yes herd is the normal term.
