It looks like the hippos have their own enclosure, and the crested porcupines and meerkats have their own enclosure as well. The pictures seem to show everything else being mixed together.

I mean these concept arts are never really meant to picture exactly what will be build. More like giving a rough idea or vibe.
And alot of times animal stocking changes in between concept and finished build.
Just watched a video about it. The hippos and rhinos have their own enclosures, porcupine and meerkat will be roommates in their own enclosure so giraffe, zebra, antelopes, warthog and apperently bat eared fox will share the main savannah habitat.
By the looks the vultures and waterfowl will maybe be able to access the outdoor rhino enclosure aswell as that one is marked as netted over in the plans.
There is also a seperate monkey enclosure marked in the plans, didnt specify which species tho, maybe vervets to tie in which the savannah theme
I saw the construction plan on the website and I am looking forward to it. But considering the uncertainty of the future, my children may have gone to college by the time they are fully built.
Some pretty big news from yesterday - in the next couple of days, a pair of Siberian tigers from the Netherlands will be moved over to Kazakhstan, where they will be kept as part of a project to reintroduce tigers to the country. The offspring of these Dutch tigers will be released into the Ile-Balkhash Reserve, where efforts have been made to reintroduce the large herbivores that tigers would prey upon (Bukharan wapiti and kulan). The first tiger releases are planned for 2025.

The tigers have now arrived in Kazakhstan, from Landgoed Hoenderdaell Zoo.

Fun fact there is a new species of hammerhead shark! They thought it was a bonnet head shark, but it’s something new!

A hammerhead shark species discovered by scientists finally has a name and its namesake is the late Paul G. Allen, philanthropist and co-founder of Microsoft.
Thanks! Is that info updated more often than zootierliste?
This is good breaking news for me, thank you very much!
Something that I have just noticed that looks very exciting is that Schonbrunn Tiergarten, the zoo in Vienna, Austria, has released plans for a new aquarium that will replace its old aquarium. Construction is planned to start in mid-2025 and be completed by 2028. The new aquarium will include nine different sections:

The new aquarium also has its own website, with some information about all nine different sections:
www.artenschutzaquarium.at
Here in the UK, this would easily be one of the, if not the, best standalone aquariums in the country, and yet it will be just part of a zoo that also has elephants, rhinos, hippos, giraffes, orangutans, koalas, four species of large cat, two species of bear and plenty of other traditional zoo animals besides. I think it is definitely something to look out for (and also is a good reason in my mind why an aquarium feature in any future Frontier game should be part of Planet Zoo).
- Fresh Water - Will showcase a range of freshwater habitats, from groundwater pools home to blind fish to a 525,000 litre Amazon tank home to arapaima among other species. It will also showcase some of the around sixty endangered species of freshwater fish bred at the zoo.
- Coral Reef - A 120,000 litre tank that will house corals and a variety of reef fish, with clownfish and ribbon eels being mentioned. One of the main roles of this section will be to establish captive bred populations of endangered Caribbean coral species.
- Jellyfish - An essential for Schonbrunn, as their aquarium already houses the largest collection of jellyfish and comb-jellies of any facility in the world - they already keep and breed over eighty species.
- Ex-Situ - Another section for showcasing endangered freshwater fishes, including a large number of killifish and pupfish, some of which are extinct-in-the-wild, as well as the native European mudminnow.
- Cephalopods - The aquarium only houses two cephalopod species at present, but this new section will increase the number being kept and bred - as well as octopuses, some species mentioned include the flamboyant cuttlefish and the reef squid.
- Seahorses, Pipefish and Seadragons - The current aquarium already keeps and breeds both seahorses and pipefish and, as well as continuing this work, the new aquarium will also aim to add seadragons to its collection and breed them as well.
- Deep Sea - A section based on the ocean abyss, some of the animals mentioned as living here include the chimera (a primitive relative of sharks and rays), giant spider crabs and giant isopods.
- Open Sea - The single largest tank in the aquarium, containing over two million gallons of saltwater, this section will be based on the sunlit waters of the open ocean and house sharks, eagle rays and a variety of shoaling fishes.
- Mangrove - The final section will house various species from mangrove swamps around the world - fish mentioned as living in this area include the archerfish, the mudskipper and the four-eyed fish.

Someone captured Evidence of Big Cats in Australia

Each day that pass i get more conviced that i could post a photo of my dog in one of those subs, label her as "the Brazilian black dog" and people wound unironically believe it.
lol show me a single domesticated Cat that looks like that
In all seriousness, reports / photos of “black panthers” with accompanying photos pop up pretty regularly in Australia. The thing photos of them always have in common is tha:m
A) there’s nothing in the image to reliably scale the animal (saplings or laneways look just like big trees or roads) - there’s never an object or building to enable a good size estimate.
B) Thyre always black. Given that only 10% of leopards or jaguars are black, the likelihood is that spotted big cats would be seen before or more often than black ones but we never ever see images of ‘big cats’ that have spots,
The Thing that they are black so often is Kind of odd. Would be interesting though to see a Photo of a domesticated Cat that looks similar to this one, because it doesn't really look like that to me
