    It seems at last we are also getting serious on rare and endangered caprids and ovids in zoo collections. Loomaeed Tallinna Zoo IS a treasure trove for those so inclined ... :D

    Borneon Orangutan, Joey has died unexpectedly

    The Menagerie was the regret to inform you that our male orangutan, Joey, died this morning of July 23, 2014.
    Joey came to the Menagerie in November 2013. For several years he suffered from occasional digestive problems. Beginning July Joey introduced severe digestive disorders, progressively stopping to eat. The team of veterinarians and trainers of the Menagerie treated him taking support and advice from specialists in veterinary and human medicine. He unfortunately died despite several days of intensive care
