    Birth of a brazilian porcupine :)
    This is the second one in less than a year. Mother is three years old Sarina and father is Henk, 13 years old.
    The first baby, called Kiki (born 17th May 2020), should go this year to...Singapore o_O

    @Themonkeyguy1 Nop and didn't see any pics of the 5.000 m2 enclosure which must be great.
    It seems open but I don't know more unfortunately.

    Just found out about this zoo on “50 must see exhibits in Europe” thread. Having looked at the map online and through the threads on here it looks like a really good zoo yet is completely lacking in attention on here. No gallery items??

    Unfortunately yes. The zoo is something like anywhere in France and hard to reach without car. Even if you have a car (which is my case) the zoo is long drive and not near any other interesting zoos.

    I must go but when :confused:

    Important moves in the takin group :
    - females Mishmi takin Phimphou and Larissa left the park for Tierpark Berlin.
    - male Sichuan takin Jiao arrived from Tierpark Berlin.
    - male Shensi takin Dagu arrived from Zoo Dresden.

    So now the park has a bachelor group of takin with three subspecies !
