Visited the park last week and some notes from this visit : - several of the squirrel-species were housed in other enclosures as where I saw them the last time I visited ( Sept. 2020 ). - a new "small-cat-complex was constructed in one of the corners of the park. 3 species are housed in this complex being serval : the animals were already at the park and the enclosure in which they were housed first was now empty and being refurnished, 2 Jaguarundi-enclosures which are connected with eachother by a sliding-door which was open during my visit. I was however only able to discover one animal which was hidding in the indoor-enclosure and as a third species a pair of European wild cats. ZTL mention 143 European collections keeping the species but evenso Faunapark Flakkee is the only Dutch zoo with this species ! - other cat-news was that the Jungle cats have 5 young - of which I was able to see 3 - the other 2 were hidding to well to be discovered. - a keeper told me that he had heared squeaking sound in the nest-box of the Asian palm civets so most prob. there are young with this species. Will upload photos is the Faunapark Flakkee - ZooChat - gallery.
Would the serval and jaguarundi have come from Blijdorp? I really would wish more Dutch zoos would work with European wild cats! Amersfoort, Rhenen, Burgers and Gaiapark Dierenrijk????? Local conservation story wild cats making a comeback in Limburger and Brabant!
Don't know about the Jaguarundi ( obtained 2021 ) but the Servals already have been kept for a longer time at Faunapark - they were there already in April 2018 ).
