First Turkish sloth pair recieved from a German zoo : Newly arrived sloths in Turkey gain attention by visitors - Daily Sabah
The zoo has now received the first Indian Rhino in Turkey. Male, Samir (bStuttgart2008) arrived from Edinburgh today following a 5 day journey by road and sea. Further individuals are planned to join him in 2016
Disgraceful scenes, showing the arrival of "SAMIR" at this zoo, management surely should be censured by the EEP and recommendations made, i'm sure there will be a few distressed hoofstock keepers back in Edinburgh after watching this footage. Kocaeli- Türkiye'nin ?lk Gergedan? Samir Yeni Evinde
Big crowds of noisy people around the lorry and surrounding the pen inside the house as he was let out of the crate for the first time (this was after a 5 day journey). Keepers shouting to each other and the constant camera flashes Poor guy didn't get a minutes peace when he should have been allowed to rest after such a long journey
No - if they had then I suspect the outcome would have been very different Hopefully they'll learn for (if and) when the next Rhino arrives
Poor boy! There is a photo on their --> Facebook page, hope he has got only superficial abrasions of the skin ... :-(

KOMALA the first Indian rhino born at Chester zoo has arrived at the zoo to be paired with the former Edinburgh male SAMIR Turkey's first endangered rhino Samir finally unites with rhino Komala from the UK
New arrivals in December included 2.0 Giraffe from Prague and a female White Cheeked Gibbon from Osnabruck
The siamang pair had a baby girl named Mula near the end of last year Faruk Yalçın Zoo Also as a person who has been there and had an "apprenticeship", I can say that the place itself and the collection isn't really bad except for the fact that it is located on an hill. Most of the keepers I worked with wanted the best for the animals they worked for. The thing that makes the zoo unbearable is the visitors who litter the place and feed the animals
The sloths gave birth to a baby for the first time in Turkey let alone this park. Sookie and Maddie the red ruffed lemurs have arrived to turkey from Cologne zoo.
