    Around a week ago 5-year old female Barbary lion (Panthera leo leo) Zara gave birth to 3 young. This is her first litter, so hopefully all cubs survive.

    Sadly 50-year old female Common chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) Schika passed away.

    The newborn barbary lions have been sexed: one boy and two females!

    Recently the North American porcupines (Erethizon dorsatum) moved to their new enclosure which was funded by the Verein der Zoofreunde Hannover e.V..

    Is it true that there is only one female caribou at Hannover now?

    That is true, they are down to a single young female. Hannover would like to keep this subspecies, but for now there is a distinct lack of interest from other zoos, so they are planning to switch to European forest reindeer, which seems a sensible move...

    Hannover Zoo flamingos seem to be partly hybrids, but when I asked about that the Zoo denied it for most of the birds. The said the flamingo species wouldn´t interbreed and they had only 1 or 2 hybrids....

    I really wonder why they do not admit it....How is the practice in other zoos?
