Good news: new additions to the Zurich Wilderness Park
A trip to Langenberg Zoo is particularly worthwhile at the moment. Young animals can now be observed in many animal species. Particularly pleasing: after 10 years, young lynx have once again been born in Zurich Wildlife Park - thanks to a new pair of lynx. Event tip: On June 27, the "Young Animals" wilderness day will take place at Langenberg Zoo.
On May 5, the surprise was perfect. The young female lynx, who has been living at Langenberg Zoo since last fall, gave birth to two cubs in the barn. The two cubs have now opened their eyes and are starting to explore the enclosure. With a bit of luck, young lynx can be seen in Zurich Wildlife Park for the first time in 10 years.

A meeting in the forest? Gladly, but with respect please!
Many people are meeting outside again due to the coronavirus pandemic. The Zurich Wilderness Park and numerous other nature reserves are asking people to organize these stays or celebrations with respect for nature.
The rangers recommend the following rules of conduct for a respectful experience of nature:
The ibex are in rut
To court the females, the kings of the Alps adopt a very special posture during the mating season: they tilt their heads back, fold their horns on their backs and raise their tails. The animals repeatedly stick out their tongues and make a clicking sound. This is how our ibexes currently gently court the favor of the females. The wild battles for the hierarchy were already fought when it was warmer. Now they have to manage their energy well. The ibex mating season lasts until around the end of January.
