    The zoo is building a new playground area at the bottom of the image, but still in the yellow part, so it would reduce the surface. The Dahomey cattles will leave the zoo ?

    I don't know more than what the zoo write in their press release. Just wanted to illustrate that it isn't too hard to see, how the zoo might find 2.5 hectares space for this project.

    ...for comparison, this is what the original 2018 design and plantation of the enclosures looked like:

    It looks amazing ! From what I see from the picture, it seems that the glass go to the ceiling now.

    Wonderful! I would love to see some cohabiting species, for example echidnas. Echidnas apparently need much space for males following females during courtship, but rarely get it in zoos.
