They’ve got some rarities from South Africa like the Common reedbuck, Cape hartebeest, Common duiker and the Klipspringer. Some of those species is kept in Europe but there is only one of them, such as the Klipspringer in Valencia Bioparc. I hope they can breed them and they can be sent to Europe. I am kind of hoping they can get more African species like the Bushbuck, African buffalo, Red-flanked duiker, Black duiker, Bay duiker, Steenbok, Gerenuk, Thomson’s gazelle, Grant’s gazelle, Gray reebok, Bat-eared fox, Cape fox, Rüppell’s sand fox, African wildcat, Black-footed cat, Striped polecat, Striped weasel, Selous mongoose, Slender mongoose, Dwarf mongoose, Marsh mongoose, Egyptian mongoose, Gambian mongoose, White-tailed mongoose, Yellow mongoose, Banded mongoose, Meerkat, Bushy-tailed mongoose, Warthog, Red river hog, Bushpig and more Madagascar species and more African birds such as the Black heron, Black-headed heron, Goliath heron, Black-bellied bustard, Black korhaan, Dunham’s bustard, Buff-crested bustard, White-bellied bustard, Kori bustard and as well as more.
They got some new species including the Madagascar teal, and some francolin, lapwing, pratincole, oriole, bustard, starlings and more, according to ZTL
So what could be the next bunch of species to be shown? It may be meerkats? elephants? or another bunch of exotic African birds? For birds, I would really like to see bee-eaters, rollers, barbets, flycatchers, thrush, buntings, sparrows, weavers, gulls, shrikes, gonolek, warbler, wattle-eye, African crake and the Lesser moorhen. I would really love to see them introduce wattle-eye if they can, they are sometimes seen in bird expos in Europe. I wonder if they will introduce South American, North American, Australian or other Asian species…
Sharjah Safari park has received 11 elephants from Namibia, along side the Al Ain Safari park which received another 11 elephants from Namibia Source: Sharjah Safari park in United Arab Emirates - Elephant Encyclopedia and Database, Namibia exports 22 elephants to UAE
ZTL updated the park's list with the elephants and the African fish eagle. But according to my findings there should be more species like the Ring-tailed lemur, Black-throated montior, Lion and more. Can anybody make a complete list of the zoo's animals if one have visited the park, plz?
After the closure during the summer-season, the park will reopen again tomorrow ( Sept. 21 ) : 12 habitats, 50,000 animals: Sharjah safari announces reopening date
