Budapest Zoo and Botanical Garden Budapest Zoo

In 2020, 11 Northern bald ibis chicks are hatched in Budapest

 

A Polar bear called Beliy moved to Planckendael Zoo.

 

Beliy went to Pairi Daiza, not planckendael (which has not polar bear)

 

Oh, sorry

 

Five(1.4) Dholes were born.

 

An investigation has been launched into the Pannonia Park case, because someone stole paving stone worth 60 million HUF.
A link in Hungarian:Eltűnt térkő, szabálytalanságok – nyomozás indult az állatkerti Biodóm ügyében

 

19 Greater flamingos were hatched up to now

 

The 62 billion HUF for Pannonia Park ran out, and the capital led by Gergely Karácsony and the FIDESZ government either does not want to give more money to the project. I think we can be happy if the biodome will complete by 2023.

 

Can you elaborate how far along the building program has come now and what as yet needs to be fixed till opening?

Even though the project has received significant funding from state coffers, I am loathe to believe if that investment was in effect enough. Mismanagement of financing and handling the project in the first place aside, I wondere what contributed to the overspend ..., if at all any?

Personally, I find that letting an unfinished building to rot for 3+ years does not seem like sound financial management, is in effect a waste of the capital investment in the first place and opens up the political-bureaucracy scene to justified criticism themselves. Well, let us not go too far into the political scene here and/or the role of FIDESZ the party in Hungary.

 

I am absolutely agree!
There is an overspending anyway, because an oligarch named Garancsi won the Pannonia Park's tender.
I don't continue to politicize, sorry for the off.

 

Three Parma wallabies(Notamacropus parma) arrived from Antwerp.

 

Two Crowned crane chicks were hatched.

 

A Giant anteater baby was born

 

Two Golden takin girls (Manka and Panka) arrived from Pairi Daiza

 

The anteater baby was named Guba after a Hungarian dessert.

How did you know this @vogelcommando? I'm from Budapest but I didn't hear about the orang baby

 

Social media .

 

@HungarianBison: Looking at the (english) zoo map, it seems that parts of the zoo - children zoo and shark aquarium - are closed. Is this correct (and if so: why)?

 

@zoomaniac yes, these parts of the zoo are indeed closed, because of covid. I don't know more information in this case.
Btw are you planning a trip to Budapest? We could meet...
