The Ménagerie put a post on Facebook indicating that the transfer was delayed for few months due to sanitary reasons. No more details.

New species for the zoo with the arrival of 3 Lake Pátzcuaro salamander. According to the Facebook page the species is critically endangered with less than 70 animals in the wild. In captivity the species is held by 4 breeding farms and 14 european facilities.
Recent arrivals at Ménagerie : - a female corsac fox arrived at the end of october, - birth of a binturong last november 7th.
Recent news : - arrival of 4 american flamingos from la Palmyre. - Black Ear, 10 years old male caracal and last of hos species in the zoo, died from a renal disease. No news about what will happen to his enclosure.
Out of interest, have you heard anything since about the devils? Would dearly love to see them in Paris so I was wondering whether discussions were ongoing or whether it's largely been abandoned.
Recent births at la Menagerie : - an american flamingo hatched, - a binturong was born july 26th, - four hawaiian goose hatched last april, - an arabian oryx calf arrived in july, - two white-naped cranes hatched in June, Other news : - the new orang-utans aviary has been authorised and the building works will start in 2023, - the former caracal exhibit has been refurbished for arboreal species but the zoo has not given the name of the future species it will held.
When miracles arrive : - the works for the new orangutans aviary will start in march for a completion one year later. - the Rotunda will become the tickets office and a shop after refurbishment + a pool will be added for the Aldabra's giant tortoises. - the reptile house will be enlarged with a new room gained on a past animal kitchen.

Great news, as the Orangs’ current enclosure is somewhat dated. I need to visit again, such a lovely zoo, one of my favourites
I have no confirmation but think so as the main construction is outdoor. I suppose they will be on view indoor nevertheless. And great news : a tree-kangaroo has been born last july to pair Kau Kau and Saleb and is now emerging from the pouch.
