    I've just finished the reading of the zoo guide (2022 edition), it talks about a future coming back of the Maned Wolves (gone by 2020) in a new enclosure with new animal species.
    The education centre seems to have changed its name, it's now simply called École de la Nature, the reference to the ecologist activist Nicolas Hulot has been removed, perhaps because of his recent judiciary problems.
    Strangely the map and guide have removed the reference to the Harbour Seals (supposedly replaced by Pink-backed Pelicans...), while they are still displayed in their pool.

    The keepers have counted 60 Red-eared Sliders, 6 Spanish Pond Turtles and 34 European Pond Turtles during the turtle counting campaign in the ponds where they live in semi-free conditions.
    Branféré is involved in reintroduction projects for the European Pond Turtles.
