    Be careful with English "zoo-words", because a "pair" usually means 1.1 animals ;-)

    The zoo risks to close because of lack of funds.
    However the animals are fine and some capybaras are born.

    The zoo won't be closed, keep calm:). The television report was too catastrophic...

    That's a relief! This zoo seems quite nice I couldn't wait to visit it and when I saw the reply saying that it coul've close made me a bit sad

    Yesterday was the zoo's 6th anniversary, they celebrated with a falconry show and the opening of their new reptilarium, although I'm unaware of the species they are displaying in the building

    A flock of great flamingos has joined the collection in march (reporting this just so most news don't get behind :p) though I'm unaware of the numbers, and a single female crowned lemur has recently arrived; I am clueless about the facility of origin.
