    This year Kolmarden Zoo gaves their amurtiger offsprings to Chessington Zoo and gets two new males and two new females. Now I've got a question: is the old breeding pair still around?

    The wolves got put down about 5-6 days ago due to age and health problems. They say that the wolves that got put down are not the same wolves that killed a young worker back in 2012.

    They have no plans on getting wolves again in the near future as they need a new better enclosure for that.

    Hard to know, if I remember it correctly the wolf enclosure is one of the first you see when entering the zoo, I doubt they will let it be empty as it is a pretty big and "important" spot.
    It seems like they will not have any big predators in there as they need to remake the whole enclosure for that to work (their own words). So time will tell what they put in there.

    Funny with the name! :)

    Is elephant Sanoi pregnant? I saw the video of elephants in Kolmarden, and it seemed to me that it was much wider than the other elephants. Does Kolmarden Announce Pregnancy? And if so when?

    New species! Red river hog. I've seen several pictures on Instagram showing red river hogs in the savannah stable. The zoo has not given any official information about the new species yet but as people are allowed to put them on Instagram they don't seem to be a secret to the public

    How does the gorilla group look like now? I've been a frequent visitor earlier but have not visited the park for a couple of years now. Now I need to keep up with the information that I've been missing ;)

    I know that they have Enzo and that he is the silverback, and that his brother Echo has moved to Spain. I've also heard that Naomi is going to be relocated and that Enzo is getting his own females. Have they done that yet? Is Iris still in the park?
