Young animals at Langenberg
Elk offspring in the Wildnispark Zurich
Great joy at Wildnispark Zurich: a few days ago, an elk calf was born at the Langenberg Wildlife Park. Additional young animals have also been born among the wild boar, ibex, Przewalski's horses, marmots and red and fallow deer. A trip to the Wildnispark Zurich is therefore particularly worthwhile at the moment.
Annual Report of the Wildnispark Zurich Foundation
The Wildnispark Zurich Foundation's retrospective of 2024 is encouraging: with the release of two lynxes into the wild in Germany and the reintroduction of stone crayfish in the Sihlwald forest, Wildnispark Zurich was able to achieve important successes for species conservation. The foundation is well established in the region and can continue to rely on the support of its sponsors for the next four years.
Christmas trees – a feast for moose and red deer
Invitation to the press event in the Wildnispark Zürich
Moose feed almost exclusively on conifers for months in winter. Red and silver fir trees are also an important source of food for red deer and roe deer during the cold season. Fortunately, Wildnispark Zurich is receiving numerous unsold Christmas trees from Coop and Grün Stadt Zürich again this year.
Lynx Vreni from the Zurich Wilderness Park has settled in well in Germany
At the end of August, a female lynx that was born in 2023 at Langenberg Zoo in Langnau am Albis was released into the wild in the Thuringian Forest. The animal, named Vreni, has adapted well to life in the wild and has already killed several deer.
Stone crabs released into the wild in the Sihlwald forest
This afternoon, 40 stone crayfish were released in the Sihlwald. This native crayfish species is highly endangered. With this reintroduction project, the Zurich Wilderness Park Foundation is helping to promote biodiversity in Switzerland.
Wilderness day in the Sihlwald
An exciting event for the whole family: a wildlife day will be held in Sihlwald on September 29. The focus is on the magnificent sand lizard, hedgehogs, wild bees and other small animals.
Lynx from the Zurich Wilderness Park released into the wild in Germany
The wild lynx in Western and Central Europe are threatened by inbreeding. The existing populations need to be better connected to ensure regular genetic exchange between them. For this reason, a female lynx that was born in 2023 at Langenberg Zoo in Langnau am Albis was released into the wild yesterday evening in the Thuringian Forest.
Young otters in the Zurich Wilderness Park
The otter enclosure at Langenberg Zoo in Sihlwald has been enriched by another attraction: two young otters(Lutra lutra) have been on display here for a few days now. The otter is an endangered species in Europe; the Zurich Wilderness Park Foundation participates in the international conservation breeding program of the European Association of Zoos and Aquariums (EAZA).
