    Bad accident at the zoo: male lion killed one of younger females. Might have joined whole group too early?

    On the 16th of May a male Black sable antelope (Hippotragus niger niger) was born. The 6-year old mother came from a zoo in France and the 5-year old father came from Praha zoo. This is the first time that this species have bred at zoo Gdansk! How many black sable antelopes does Gdansk now have?

    On the 3rd of June 4 (3 males and 1 female) Arabian sand cats (Felis margarita harrisoni) were born to parents Maolie (2) and Abu (14). Would this be a zoo first breeding for Gdansk?

    On the 1st of June a Common chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) was born to the 35-year old (female?) Lola and the 9-year old (male?) Sambor. The gender of the newborn is currently unkown.
