    The works on the outdoor of the giant otters' enclosure are stopped due to some bureaucratic issues. I hope they will able to resume work soon.

    And egg of Red-headed Vulture (Sarcogyps calvus) was layed some weeks ago.
    A very important event, because the zoo is one of the few facilities which host this rare species (I think it's the only park in Europe which has a breeding pair of them along with the Menagerie du Jardin de Plantes).

    The news bulletin: San Valentino in cova per gli avvoltoi reali indiani

    Egg was laid Jan.29. The zoo claims to be the only zoo to maintain the species and according. to the news item they should have 11 (including 9 others). PNV is working closely with the Angkor Center in Cambodia on in and ex situ conservation of the species too!

    Bearded vulture second hatching for PNV. This egg was taken for incubation and the parents were allowed to brood a second egg. They seem to have a history of breaking their eggs - which the second one did -.

    Their first offspring - a male - has been released into the wild and the new chick when 3-4 months of age will follow suit.

    An Egyptian vulture (of the rare subspecies ginginianus) was born four months ago.
    According to the park socials, this is the first ginginianus born in a zoo this year.
