A dusky langur has been born in Wuppertal Zoo - that means 2 young have been born there within the last 12 months and both are doing well, after no offspring for a couple of years. Maybe hope for the european langur population?

Burgers Zoo has opened a new asian rainforest complex and the plan was to keep dusky langurs with gibbons. It seems the dusky langurs were to be imported from the U.S. This plan has now failed and I don`t know what langur species will replace them - probably javan langurs, they are the most common in Europe. I am dreaming of Francois langurs, though... highly endangered and 4 young have been born in Rotterdam in the last 2-3 years.

Hagenbeck (Hamburg) has announced that again 2 giant otters have been born and are doing well, they are already a couple of months old. Seems to be a male and a female.
