The Zonnegloed has completed their exhitits for the birds of prey, and they are building several facilitys for big cats (lions, tigers, ...) now. Due to covid the the work is temporarily stopped. At this moment they use the exhibit for bisons and barbary sheeps.In attachment some pictures from constructions for the big-cats. Water buffalo's and prairidogs are announced to arrive later this year.
Completely unexpectedly, three brown bears have been born at Dierenpark de Zonnegloed. Mother of the cubs is Sandra. She came with her brother Tishka from a Ukrainian zoo six months ago. He cannot be the father as he has been castrated. So Sandra must have already been pregnant in Ukraine. Sandra was supposed to have surgery on her teeth next week, but that operation is now postponed. Source: VRT NWS
