Polarbear Rocky from Monde Sauvage has arrived in AquaZOO (Netherlands) to join the other male Felix. AquaZOO has now a bachelor group. In Monde Sauvage there are still two females, mother (Blanche) and daughter (Qanik).
According to the park the male should arrive soon, they don't confirm his name. The new male must pair up with the youngest female Qanik (10y).
The enclosure for the asian black bears (no longer in the collection??) has been occupied by the brown bears. The brown bears have acces to both the bear-enclosures at this moment. The empty enclosure from the lynx (past away) will be connected to the enclosure from the amur leopard. The old cougar enclosure has already been connected to the enclosure from the black panther.

The parc placed an extra (play)tower with slide on the island from the Orang-utans.This is to lure the orangutans out more. For now it seems to work well. The former owl-forest (empty now) will be used as a forest-trail to promote the local biodiversity.
