1.0 Indian Rhino born on Christmas day. A first breeding in Poland

EDIT: My #3000 post

 

Quite an exceptional year for new holders, first time breeding, Warsaw, Amersfoort, CERZA and Terra Natura.
What the EEP needs though, is a successful breeding from the wild caught Vienna pair.

 

Great news, indeed. Shikari and her little baby boy are doing well. Find some pics here:

Rhinos-in-Europe

Well, Sundi & Jange haven't mated yet. They are still young enough to have some rhino babies one day.

 

Indian Rhino calf has been named "Byasi"

 

Not Byasi but Bysio/Byś - but i think his real name will be other because all animals born in 2012 recived names beginning with "D" - Bysio is name sugested by sponsor of his mother (Shikari)

 

The zoo told me that the baby boy has been named "Byś". He is such a cute little baby rhino! Photos and a video --> Rhinos-in-Europe

 

Meerkat Kits Arrive at Warsaw Zoo - ZooBorns

 

Has their been any progress on building a new enclosure for this species, which was just housed in a very old looking cage in January 2012, although there were signs up saying a new exhibit was coming soon.

 

New species in Warsaw:
- two polar bears from Nuremberg
- a pair of two-toed sloths from Dresden
- Congo Peacock
- a pair of Brazilian three-banded armadillos

 

I guess the Congo Peacocks came from Antwerp ?

 

Originally yes, but actually they came from Lodz few weeks ago.

The 2012 Snow Leopard cubs (2.0) have now departed for Tallinn and Zoo Asson

 

Presumably bred at the zoo, when I visited yesterday I saw a baby yak, a baby bactrian camel and a baby american bison.
