    Zoo Leipzig: Zebras jagen Antilopen-Jungtier in den Tod
    Giant sable antilope died after being chased by zebras. :(

    Elephants from the Tierpark Berlin are expected, it has already been officially announced. Maybe only Astra will come first, and maybe when they transport Saida, they will also bring Kewa and her family. But it is interesting that the zoo only talks about the temporary accommodation of these animals.

    Two female California sea lions arrived from Wuppertal Zoo, both are 1 year old.

    A new female Pygmy lori arrived.

    Unfortunately already in spring this year two Chineses pangolins died - so the zoo still keeps 1,1.

    I'm guessing this means the original pair have gone, leaving the recent imports?
