I have uploaded some photos to the gallery. The enclosure is build on the grounds of the former Hippo building and basin. A small group of white-faced whistling ducks lives with the lemurs.
Nineteen common hamsters bred at Opel Zoo have been reintroduced to the wild in Germany. They were born last year and spent the winter at Zoo Osnabruck and Zoo Frankfurt before being released in two specially-chosen locations. This follows the reintroduction of twenty-seven hamsters last summer. Information comes from the EAZA Facebook page.

I visited Opel zoo the 26th of September. Some small news most probably already known. The pictures are of the new Asian project, a diorama of what it would look like. A student is doing her bachelors thesis on the social behavior of the introduction of the female elephant and her offspring. 3 Capuchin monkeys left to another zoo due to conflict, 2 remain. A coati was born. They're building a new meerkat enclosure.
