The young elephant bull Moyo arrived from Magdeburg Zoo. Another young bull Jabu from Boras is also due to be brought in soon. They both join Ben.
This is a very bad news as the elephant barn is the worth I know and is not fit for 3 bulls. Nevertheless there is a good news : the park announced that they will build a new elephant facility at the entrance of the safari with a new 1.400 square metters barn, a 2 hectares' savanna and... lodges (to make more money ).
Thoiry unveils a 30 millions investment plan which they hope will help them to reach 1.000.000 visitors in a few years. We do not know exactly what will be done except : - the new elephant exhibit announced above. - new luxury accomodations/lodges. - refurbished safari parts (an enlargement is already taking shape).
I don't know if the return of lions or other big cats is scheduled. The safari part looks a bit empty with nearly only hoofstock, plus the black bears and wolves in the American section.
