Some recent news: A male mountain anoa has arrived from Krefeld . Ocelot, fishing cat and Arabian wildcat have arrived. Forside
Skærup Zoo is now the first zoo in Danish history to keep the ever-more common Visayan warty pig. I actually had the feeling that they would get their hands on these sooner or later given that they have a history of keeping unusual pig species (they had white-lipped peccaries at one point) and like keeping species that cannot be seen elsewhere in Denmark.
During 2016 a male and 2 females Chacoan maras arrived at Skaerup Zoo and during April this year the first young was/were born : Skærup Zoo

Skærup Zoo is now the first Danish zoo in recent time - quite possibly the first Danish zoo in history - to keep elephant shrews. Round-eared elephant shrew to be exact.
Other new additions for this season are mountain hare, gundi, Kenyan sand boa, naked mole-rat, Amazon tree boa, and golden-headed lion tamarin. The former three cannot be seen on public view elsewhere in Denmark (though I'm pretty sure the sand boas are around in private hands).
Can you reach this zoo via public transport? I checked and the only option is a bus line which departs from Vejle to the zoo three times a day to very inconvenient times. Is there any other option to reach the zoo without a car?
Unfortunately, that's just Danish public transport (outside of the four largest cities) in a nutshell, though the fact that there actually is a bus thrice a day probably makes it better than average. My best suggestion would be that you rent a bike in Vejle and go to Skærup that way - it would take 40-50 minutes each way, and there seems to be a dedicated bike lane along Fredericiavej. If that's somehow not possible for you, I'm afraid a car is the only option left. Or a taxi, of course, but that'd be crazy expensive.
