Thank you. An interesting read and it really illustrates how quickly a captive breeding program can be turned around with a little research.
250 Chinese crocodile newts and Turquoise young geckos (Lygodactylus williamsi) hatched in the exotarium. 1.0 Sumatran tiger sent to Warsaw 0.1 lowland gorilla received from Stuttgart 3.0 kea arrived from Bremerhaven 1.1 bonobo arived from Wuppertal and Stuttgart respectively
Frankfurt will recieve 1,1 Visayan tarictic hornbills(Penelopides panini panini) from Avifauna and Chester Zoo in the next weeks/month.
Bang on, 2 more holders now! I really would now expect Rotterdam and one of the Czech zoos to follow suit soon!
"Mausi" the female shoebill has been found dead in her enclosure on the morning of 30/3. Zoo Frankfurt: Schuhschnabel-Dame MAUSI verstorben 0.1 Mhorr gazelle has been born and is being hand raised http://www.zoo-frankfurt.de/presse/...niedlich-nachwuchs-bei-den-mhorrgazellen.html
An aardvark was born march 30, and it is mother reared. Its the first young to the new pair, imported from Tanzania in 2009.
The transfer of the zoos remaining pair of Western Black Rhinos to Africa, has been delayed until Spring 2013 Zoo Frankfurt: Nashorn-Transport auf das Frühjahr 2013 verschoben
1.0 Black Howler Monkey arrived from Stuttgart. A pair of females later joined him from the Netherlands A flock of Flamingo chicks have moved into the former Shoebill exhibit. Shoebill will return to Frankfurt once stock is avaliable....
The 2 Black Rhinos which should send back to Africa, will stay at Frankfurt ! Transport-costs have become much more expensive so it has been dicided to keep male Kalusho ( 28 ) and female Tsororo ( 27 ) at Frankfurt !
Good to find out after just returning thinking best get a shift on to see them! Still, had a really good time. Construction meant that [I think] the bears were off-limits and I think some birds up by the bird house may have been. Kiwis were off-show so didn't see them, however the Ploughshare tortoise are on-show near the viewing window of the kiwi breeding area/tree-kangaroo. Pictures to follow from my trip tomorrow.
