    On Facebook it’s been revealed that Zoo Hannover is starting an expansion of its elephant exhibit. This includes a new indoor tropical hall and expanded outdoor yards.

    Seems like a bit of a detraction from the "highly themed" environment Hannover's been known for... still, any expansion is welcome indeed!

    Female Barbary lion (Panthera leo leo) Naima has been euthanized. Naima suffered from a severe hernia, after she was operated her condition slightly improved but then worsened again. The zoo hopes to find a new female for Basu, their male Barbary lion.

    In August a female Nepalese red panda (Ailurus fulgens) named Fine arrived from a zoo in Hungary, here she has been paired up with the already present male Flin. Does someone know from which zoo Fine came?

    The Red-legged seriemas (Cariama cristata) also had their first chick in May, this is also the first time that this species has bred in Zoo Hannover!

    On the 16th of May a male American wood bison (Bison bison athabascae) and on the 25th a female were born.

    Zoo Hannover received pairs of 3 American bird species somewhere in May; 2 Southern screamers (Chauna torquata), 2 Red-legged seriemas (Cariama cristata) and 2 American black vultures (Coragyps atratus). They can be found in enclosures behind the Zoo-Bauernhof.

    She reached a respectable age and had 3 calves during her lifetime with bull Kifaru: male Taco (now living at Koeln Zoo), F Saya (deceased early 2000's) and Samira (now at Flamingoland and with calf Jabali).

    Saya died at Whipsnade in 2005. AFAIK Whipsnade gave up holding black rhinos after her death.

    Yes, they did. I thought that was a mistaken decision as I consider Whipsnade very at for holding black rhino (or bring them cack on the Cassons).

    Seen on my last visit:
    on 9th of March a male zebra "Thabo" was born
    the two swamp wallabys are female ("Franzi" "Sissi")

    And during my visit I noticed that the cattle egrets are free flying and nesting in a tree next to the boad ride. So I wondered if those birds are in any way held back to fly away in any way.

    The egrets have been free-flyers for many years, even decades as far as I'm aware. They can be seen somewhere in the city probably but don't seem to have spread anywhere really.
