    Two younger females arrived last year and has been introduced to Enzo. Naomi has been relocated, not sure if it was in 2018 or 2019. Last time I heard anything from Kolmården Iris was still in the group

    There were no birds of prey show this year (for obvious reasons) but they are still on the website so I would guess that they are still in the park

    A white rhino calf born at Kolmården Friday 13th of November. The mother is Imfolozi that arrived in Kolmården in 2003 from South Africa. The calf is her sixth and her first male. He has got the name Amadi.

    The birth was dramatic as the calf was stuck half the way out but the vets managed to pull it out. Both calf and mother are now well and healthy
