And Valcorba will/has received two females cheetah called Sita and Sanné from Montpellier Zoo in France. Log into Facebook | Facebook
Sorry for this @Marco Penello. This info was put on the french Facebook site and I was not sure it was the same as your big news.
It is, indeed. Anyway, cheetahs arrived Sunday...it's a huge step for our institution, but we are working for even more interesting new species.
Yes, come and visit us. It's a very nice project with great ideas for rare species, even if it is little known. I have worked here since 2017 and I have been appointed curator since 2019.
I live in Sardinia and because of Covid I can't visit any Zoological structure in the Country, but I'll come asap!
0.2 Arabian oryxes arrived from Zurich Zoo last week. Now the herd is composed of 1.3.1 and new births are expected in the future.
1.0 scimitar horned oryx arrived from Plackendael, he will breed with the females at the park. 3.0 squirrel monkeys arrived from Antwerp.
I was wondering, are there any projects behind the scenes being worked on? Is there a masterplan of some sort?
Of course, there is a new masterplan, created two years ago with a timeframe 2020-2035...and there will be many news ;-).
Such a pity that the Zoo seems unreachable with public transport Really want to visit as I lack my weekly zoo visits during my semester abroad in Padova
You are right, it's impossible to reach with public transport...but you could have taken the train to Rovigo and then a taxi to the zoo; it's not so expensive.
The Northern Ground Hornbill are mixed with 1.1 marabous in a unique and cool mixed aviary; they are settling well. Two Oryx dammah were born last month. The zoo has been appointed as EAZA Full Member last month.
@Marco Penello I am gonna visit Valcobra in about a week! My question is do you know when it's the best time to see the African Cievt? Because I heard they aren't showing often Themse in zoos.
Hi, the best time to see the African Civet is the early morning (opening time of the zoo...) or the late afternoon (from 5 pm to 6pm); you are right, it's quite a rare species
