    At the end of last year 5 Eastern quolls (Dasyurus viverrinus) were born, they are still in their mothers pouch, this is the first time that this species has bred in Denmark!

    No, mother is Kumari as reported in the last Instagram video and an article in the local press. But there is another video where the calf is suckling from Kungrao, so I understand where the confusion is coming from.

    Any new animal facilities in the works or new animal species?

    What happens at the brown bear facility?

    After a generous donation, can zoo copenhagen build
    an outdoor facility for the chimpanzees. Construction starts immediately, and if everything goes according to plan, the outdoor facility will be ready by autumn.

    Great news! When I visited the zoo, one of the things I liked the least were the poor chimps always locked indoors. The addition of an outdoor area for them is awesome.

    The polar bear facility is in the process of being repaired, as the membrane in the water basin was close to leaking. At the same time, we are improving some other small things, but the really big expansion will only be further in the future, as funding from foundations must first be raised.

    It needs major expansion, it really is not a good enclosure for the polar bears which is disappointing considering it's only a decade old.
