Zoom Torino Zoom Torino news

Did they arrive from Cotswold Wildlife Park, Burford or Flamingoland, Malton by any chance?

 

Probably Mhorr Gazelles in Torino and Roma (I'm don't remember all the animals of each zoo anyway), but with rare you meant rare in nature or just rare to be found in a zoo?

The rhinos are called Ian and John

 

These are ex Cotswold (half brothers) - Burford.

 

I can confirm they come from Cotswold Wildlife Park and Gardens and it seems that in the future a female will join them

 

Zoom Torino:
- New Piranhas pool, where people can swim too

 

There are vegetarian piranhas and pacus, in the same pool of chiclids and rays

 

Big news from Zoom Torino: a new society called Zoom Immersive Experience spa received 18.000.000 € as investment from Magnetar Capital, this will lead the zoo into the 2nd phase of ampliament (that will take 10 years to be completed), this society also aim to open new zoos in Europe or by acquairing existing zoos and helping them develop with the concepts of Zoom Torino

 

What new habitats will we see at zoom? I am curious, I would like to see a lot of alpine fauna.

 

They didn't say anything about the new habitats, but probably they will keep hosting African and Asian animals only

 

ok thank you .

 

A couple of good news:
- it's born a Somali Wild Ass, news reported even on important sources, A Zoom Torino nato piccolo asino somalo - Piemonte
- this year they are going to open a glamping (luxury resort as defined on the news), Zoom apre un resort di lusso | L'annuncio per festeggiare il decennale, to attract tourists and let them stay more

 

It's arrived a Red-Legged Seriema (going to be shown during raptors show)

 

News:
By looking on their pictures on their facebook page I noticed they have at least a Rainbow Lorikeet called Lucy and Guinea Pigs
But a bigger news is the arrival of wallabies (hosted in the African farm at the moment) and some other animals they didn't reveal yet (tho they showed US and Vietnam flags in the post)

 

I noticed the presence of two White Storks shown during raptors show, I don't know since when they have them

 

Vietnamese pot-belly pigs are among the new animals, the African farm became Worlds Farm (also as name)

 

The Black-Tailed Praire Dogs are the last news for the farm, they are in the exhibit previously occupied by the rabbits (got no clue about where they are now), the llamas and ponies are in a new exhibit together, still in the farm, the wallabies are in one of the enclosures before occupied by llamas or sheeps, the pigs joined the already present (huge) domestic pig

 

There's a possibility for Zoom to host an Asian Elephant coming from a circus, the event is improvvise, in my opinion there's a bigger possibility to move it to Pombia's Safari Park where there are other elephants, Zoom Torino wouldn't even have a place ready for an elephant I think

 

Are there exhibits in costruction ?

 

Well last year they've announced Zoom will be enlarged and will add areas (there's lot of space around it), so if there's currently something under construction is still unknown, but there will surely be news in the next future, probably this spring
