Notice how on the video, the bull Indian rhino 'Yodha' is clearly stereotyping- repeatedly butting the door and raising a foreleg. Perhaps the close proximity of the adjacent black rhino was the cause?[/QUOTE] I would not attribute Yodha's sterotypies in this case to the rhinoceros in the neighboring stable, but rather to the monotony of the environment in which this animal had to live.
Patience, my friend. Don't you know that everything takes a little bit longer in Berlin? Does BER mean anything to you, the never-ending story of the construction of the new Berlin airport? I don't know how many opening dates there were. Well, then you know what you have to be prepared for, as far as the lion house at the zoo is concerned... Seriously, it's supposed to be ready in the summer - the emphasis is on supposedly. But honestly, the zoo is not that badly timed. The new small mammal house in Stuttgart was supposed to open in 2016...

According to the Zoo's instagram a male Philippine spotted deer was born on the 26th of February, could this be the same individual? Source: Instagram of Zoo Berlin (21/04/2021) https://www.instagram.com/p/CN7FR7ZMiJF/
A Collared lemur was born April 9: Rare collared lemur born at Berlin zoo | Africanews Berlin zoo showed its latest addition, a collared lemur named Elodie and her newborn baby, on Wednesday. In video released by Berlin Zoo, the as-yet unamed lemur cub held onto the crook of its three-year-old mother. After its mother, the cub is only the second collared lemur born in Germany. After about 120 days of gestation, the cub was born on 9 April.
I am wondering the same thing. A recent Facebook post from the zoo says work is ongoing (shows people painting). This is early August 2021. Will it be open by September?
Sorry, you are talking (or rather writing) about Berlin. That means you have to add delays to all projects... (Did someone say Berlin Airport BER)
I guess, this is the video you refer to? If I would have to speculate, I'd actually say it looks like it may indeed be finished soon. You can see completed structures (walls, floors, ceilings, even some of the indoor exhibits) as well as plants and they even started installing some of the educational equipment. This kind of work usually gets done, when there won't be much more dust etc. So why shouldn't they open in 2021? I'm not quite sure about September, though...
Yes that is the video. The reason I was interested is I am considering rebooking my September flight to Belgium/France/Italy because they are Level 3 on the US CDC and State Dept covid warnings (and also my return from Venice requires an overnight layover in Heathrow which I would like to avoid). Germany is among four or so countries I am considering that are Level 2 or Level 1. However if it is NOT a sure thing that the new cat house will be open (I am going early September), then I doubt I will do Germany.
Early September might be a close call. Of course, you can always write to the Zoo and ask. But I'm not even sure, if they know let alone publish a concrete date.
Hi, I'll visit Berlin Zoo next week. Do you know when are the feeding times of kiwis and tuataras, or the best moments to see these species? Thanks!
Unfortunately you aren’t able to see the kiwis at all because of covid now. I haven’t been to the aquarium so don’t know about the tuataras
Yes, but the kiwi exhibit in the bird house is closed. Apart from that the entire bird house, monkey house and hippo house are opened.
