In 2021 the Jungle course will be replaced by two additionnal enclosures for lions and cheetahs with six new lodges. There are already lions and cheetahs in the safari drive through. A pity as the rhesus macaques enclosure was one of the highlight of the park. I don't know what they will do with the animals.
The male common hippo left the park and was transfered to la Palmyre. On the contrary, la Palmyre's male hippo arrived. One of them won the national lotery. The other...
I'm not too familiar with French zoos so it miht take some time for me to understand which zoo is the lower one.
I recommand checking the gallery if you want to have a better idea. Planète sauvage is definitely the better zoo here in my opinion. Look at the hippo exhibit. Credits to @Maxime for the picture
@PossumRoach La Palmyre is one of the worst zoo in France so... there is no game. Rayane posted a photo of the hippo exhibit in Planète Sauvage so you can see a good one. La Palmyre's one is just a little sandy paddock with some kind of bath. Nothing for hippos !
According to the new park map the macaques are still in the wooden area. Morevover, a new species replaced the cheetahs in the safari park : maned wolves. Safari park map Pedestrian park map
A first for Planète Sauvage and a first in France too : birth of a Venezuelan red howler last february 16th. First time mother is Yerba, born in Apenheul 2016 august 25th, arrived in France during december 2018.
I can't see maned wolves as a good choice for a safari area, do you know why did they take this decision? I have not yet been there.
And the video of the cute baby : https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=782001375855113 @Marco Penello I don't know more unfortunately
Arrival of two males Cape porcupines from Ostrava. The two guys were born last june 1st. This is a new species for the zoo. https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=311034207073360
Arrival of three females maned wolves from Parken Zoo (Sweden). The zoo claims to have the largest maned wolves enclosure in Europe (could be true as this is a drivethrough enclosure in the safari). Moreover a new species will be added to this enclosure but we don't know more.
Some recent news : - births of 1.1 addaxes. - births of 2.1 common elands in april and may. Video of the births - four south african lions born in 2019 in the park were transfered in a new enclosure in the pedestrian part (you can now see the adults in the safari and the cubs in the pedestrian part).
