Our family of colobus monkey (Colobus guereza) has recorded a birth on February 14, bringing to 6 the number of individuals housed at the zoo. The female and her young are doing well but the sex of the baby is still unknown.
The Grevy’s zebra (Equus grevyi) foal born in mid-January has taken his first steps outdoors. The low temperatures of the last few weeks forced him to remain inside the building but with a much milder weather, he now goes outside with his mother even if the access to the building remains open.
Our group of chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes troglodytes) formed last year has a new member! Bamia, 13 years old, has given birth to her first infant, a male, on November 11.
48 hours after the transfer of Renette (our female white rhino born in 2012) to Schmiding Zoo in Austria, a female of the same age named Nala travelled in the opposite direction. This exchange is part of a recommendation from the white rhino European Breeding Program that manages slightly more than 300 individuals distributed in 78 zoological institutions.
