This Zoo-refuge released a new video on Facebook where they explained that the 15 guinea baboons on loan from the Citadelle de Besançon will stay at the park as the Citadelle does not want them to come back (the loan was an idea of the Citadelle to make place to refurbish the baboons enclosure !). So the Zoo-refuge is creating a 1.000 m² aviary for the baboons. https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=452266672619340

Among the animals : a leopard, two tigers, a crested porcupine, a maki catta, some macaques, parrots and red-necked wallabies. Justice - Les autorités de la Gironde ont saisi et confié 46 animaux sauvages au zoo-refuge La Tanière à Nogent-le-Phaye https://www.google.com/amp/s/france...e-apres-l-ouverture-d-une-enquete-2433100.amp

No relation with "wild" species but the Zoo refuge de la Tanière would receive 200 Domestic Donkeys (!) from Israel, with the support of an Israeli NGO that has prevented their transfer to Egyptian slaughterhouses. It's an important animal welfare issue in this last country (and other African nations), as the donkeys are often sold by their owners when they become too old, while their skins are exported to the Chinese markets. All the donkeys wouldn't stay all the remaining years of their life in La Tanière, some of them would be sent to private owners who would care of them. It's also interesting because it seems that such transfers would be possible in spite of the drastic EU regulations about livestock imports.

Arrival of 3 new bird species : Red Siskins, Atlantic Canaries and Moluccan Cockatoos. La Tanière, zoo-refuge on Instagram: "NOUVEAUX OISEAUX AU REFUGE Rencontrez des chardonnerets rouges (ou tarins rouges du Venezuela), des serins des Canaries et des cacatoès des Moluques ! Leur volière se situe derrière les enclos des petits primates et à proximité de celles des perroquets. Laissez-vous charmer par le chant délicat des plus petits et la curiosité des cacatoès ! D’où viennent-ils ? Les chardonnerets rouges proviennent d’une saisie de l’OFB chez un particulier pour trafic. Ils étaient hybridés à des chardonnerets élégants. Les serins ont été volontairement confiés au refuge par la famille de leur propriétaire décédé. Les cacatoès, quant à eux, sont issus d’un élevage professionnel et ont été également placés suite au décès du propriétaire.

La Tanière, zoo-refuge on Instagram: "Des nouvelles de… Yoda Accueilli au refuge à la mi-mai et âgé d’un mois à un mois et demi, Yoda est un ouistiti à pinceaux blancs qui avait été découvert dans le cadre d’une perquisition de la police pour trafic de stupéfiants. Un mois plus tard et grâce au relai de ses soigneurs, son poids a doublé et ses carences alimentaires ont pu toutes être rattrapées Yoda est en très bonne santé et désormais sorti de nursing : il a rejoint son nouvel espace en vue d’une future mise en contact avec ses congénères. Il faudra néanmoins patienter avant de pouvoir le rencontrer, car il n’est pas encore prêt à être visible du public.
