    The 2nd pic. Seems like a "copy paste" from Bioparc Valencia to me... But not only that image.

    I've reposted pictures used by local newspapers, they were the only avaiable ones back then, I can't really say how they look like for real


    Also: the new otters area is close to tigers, inside the Asian area, possibly their previous habitat has been used for the new reptilarium

    A couple of Reindeers arrived, a male, called Rudolph, and a female, I don't know if they are going to stay only for the Christmas period though

    Correction: there are 4 new reindeers, coming from Brno and from Ljubljana, the young female is called Cometa
    They weren't just a Christmas thing
    I think they're hosted in the Worlds' Farm

    No news at the moment, I've just noticed on maps that the northern part of the park (closed to the public) has been cleaned a lot (it's always been used to storage stuff), but I couldn't say that's going to be a new habitat soon

    It's arrived a female or Red Panda from France (Biotropica), called Suki (8 months old), she'll join Haiku's (7 years old) habitat that has lived in Zoom Torino since 2015

    Four Red River Hogs arrived from Chorzow zoo in Poland, the names will be decided through an online poll, they are 9 months old and they are all siblings from 2 different moms (Melissa and Jagoda, the father is Pumba), I didn't find informations online or pictures about where they're being hosted

    They're being hosted in the (ex?) grey-crowned cranes and marabous exhibit in Serengeti's habitat
