    I´ve seen photos of those 2 remaining birds and one of them is in a bad shape too, it´s a question of a few days. The last one - we will see.

    If ZTL is to be believed, the last two have now died, although I cannot find any primary source to back this up.

    If anyone has a map of Zoo Wuppertal I'd greatly appreciate seeing it. A few years out-of-date and German is fine, as long as the text is large enough to be readable.
    Nothing on google maps for this zoo. My last resort aka openstreetmap has a basic overview with many of the exhibits, but several are missing. I'll visit later this month, but I only have half a day and would prefer to be able to plan in advance (no detours for suricates, petting goats and alike;))

    Condor,
    I was at the Wuppertal Zoo this past May, so I got a map of it. I'll have to scan it and then send it to you. I'm a bit busy for the next week or so, but I'll do this for you in a week or so, if you'll remind me.
