    "Long Journey Ahead for Torsten the Forest Buffalo! [​IMG]
    Although this year seems just no less busy than previous ones in terms of collection growth, it is still rare for to have a future or outgoing zoo resident travel almost 3000 km to its destination. After long preparations, our 9-year-old African forest buffalo named Torsten is now on his way to Zoo Aquarium de Madrid under recommendations by the European Studbook Program (EAZA - the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria ESB).
    Exhibited in less than 30 zoos throughout Europe, African forest buffalos first appeared in Debrecen with the arrival of two young males from Berlin in 2017. Named Frantz and Torsten, they spent their adolescence in our Africa Panorama Enclosure together but have since reached a point in adulthood where we must separate them. Frantz was the first to move away last year and it is now time for Torsten to join the breeding group assigned by the studbook keeper, with hopes of his contribution to the growth of the European zoo population." says the zoo's Facebook page.
