    From FB :

    And today we bring you their latest achievement: reproduction of a new and spectacular species of jellyfish, the Rhopilema esculentum, in our facilities, from small polyps.

    Quite elegant in its appearance, this species is key to keep the ecosystem healthy and it is used by experts as an indicator of any possible misbalance in the marine environment, such as water temperature or salinity.

    Do not hesitate to visit us and observe it closely in AquaViva! Its slow swimming moves will make you feel peaceful and relaxed.

    Good news. I think the current exhibit for 7 animals is absolutely sufficient and in order, but if the Loro Praque can offer the animals more space and, if necessary, a more natural design of the exhibit, then they should also use the Chance. It would be great if they would use the former Blue World plans from Seaworld, because I really liked them.

    Presumably they imported them direct from Australia then?

    Yes, a small group of captive-bred birds came from Australia.

    From Loro Parques FaceBook-site :

    "
    In current times of coronavirus with all the difficulties that travel between countries represents, we remain true to our commitment to conservation and on this occasion we have just transferred two specimens of Lear's Macaw (Anodorhynchus leari) from our ex-situ breeding center in Tenerife to Brazil for their consequent reintroduction into the wild.
    It was 14 years ago that the Brazilian Government, recognizing our prominent experience in the matter, trusted us with two couples so that we could help a species that was in serious danger of extinction. Fortunately, we were very successful and we have managed to breed 35 specimens, of which there are now 17 that have returned to their country of origin and the rest continue to live in our facilities (although they remain to belong to the Government of Brasil).
    The two specimens that have just arrived in Brazil are safe and sound and we are sure that they have a very promising future."
