    Any idea about the supplying zoo?


    BTW: Incredibly exciting changes and new building projects at Jardin des Plantes. It seems to get more rare species every day.

    Two years later and the Menagerie is at 62% of funding. You can read about it and donate here if you so wish. In French of course.

    The Menagerie has had two caracal cubs born on the 3 March 2018, and a lion tailed macaque was born on 18 March 2018. A L'Hoest's monkey was also born on 23 March 2018. All are currently on exhibit.

    I noticed last time I said something about the waxwings in Vincennes it got fixed on ZTL.

    La Ménagerie du Jardin des plantes has some Goeldi's monkeys, ZTL doesn't say so. I've seen them, I swear.

    Not mentioned before here on the site but already in August 2 male-cubs Snow leopards were born at Paris. They are now on display.

    Unfortunately, the Jardin seems to be under visited and under reported around here. Unfortunately, a ten hour plane ride prevents me from being a regular.
