    Photos of the new project for 2021, the african volière

    Its located in the entry and is an expansion of the northern bald ibis aviary to the cascade "sour le roc". This new exhibition will host King colobus, rock hyrax, white stork, northern bald ibis, glossy ibis, turacos...

    The new pygmy hippos is really nice (personally I liked a lot) and the forest environment helps a lot for make a beautiful landscape
