- New arrivals in February 1.1 Southern tamanduas from a zoo in Portugal 0.1 Drill from a zoo in France 1.0 Red panda from a zoo in France - Births in February 0.0.4 Maned wolves
Now tamanduas also? I've never been to Parken Zoo, but it seems really nice. Especially the fact that they almost only keeps exotic species in contrast to other Swedish zoos who love their locals. And they have many rare species compared to the rest of Sweden also.
I would suspect/assume that quite a few EU zoos currently are under some financial strain. Care to elaborate what the status for Parken Zoo is?
What I'd like to know is what zoo these tamanduas same from? What zoo in their right mind lets a pair of tamanduas go? Seems strange to me.
I thought the same really, specially since no zoo from Portugal was listed as having Tamandua's (not that Portugal is well covered in ISIS or Zootierliste, but still...).
