    After 20 years 1.2 Pere David's deer (Elaphurus davidianus) arrived at the zoo, they can be found in the former fellow deer enclosure. The Persian fallow deer (Dama mesopotamica) that used to live in that enclosure can now be found in the new enclosures for Asian ungulates.

    A few hundred Deserta Grande wolf spider (Hogna ingens) hatched behind the scenes. The zoo received 50 spiders from Zoo Köln and was finally able to breed them! The Deserta Grande wolf spider is the rarest wolf spider in Europe with only an estimated of 4000 individuals in their ancestral habitat. Therefore an EEP has been started under the direction of Bristol Zoo.
