    An item on Instagram over their new male reticulated giraffe bull.
    I think he is as yet too small for the big female!!!

    As the big news of 2021, Copenhagen Zoo is jumping on the animatronic dinosaur wave, with 35 animatronics around the zoo. On one hand, you'd think they had better things to spend their money on during this economic crisis, and on the other hand it might just be the thing that attracts their primary audience and generates the necessary profit. Time will tell.

    Two advantages with the dinosaurs - they don't need to be fed and won't need euthanising!
    Disadvantage - they can't be used as carnivore feed!!

    Copenhagen sent two young white rhino bulls, born 2017 and 2018, to Reynou. What are the names of these rhino boys? Even in the video I can't hear any names.

    The rhino boys tranferred to France are called Alfred and Berg.
