Een nieuw hoofdstuk Foto: Johanna Kok (BB-Facebook). Tijger Alia. Lief en leed in de Rotterdamse Tijgerkreek. Op 3 april viel het doek voor Sumatraanse tijgerin Alia op de mooie leeftijd van 19 jaar. Alia, geboren te Wuppertal, was al sinds 2007 te zien in Diergaarde Blijdorp.

Gorilla’s weg Foto: Cor de Gier (BB-Facebook). Gorilla Tamani. Afgelopen november kondigde Blijdorp aan geen toekomst te zien voor gorilla’s in Rotterdam. Met het stilvallen van de fok door de dood van Bokito en met de naderende renovatie van de Rivièrahal moest een knoop doorgehakt worden: óf een nieuwe zilverrug binnenhalen en flink investeren in het verbeteren van de huisvesting, óf afscheid…

A native of South America, this giant water lily was so named in honour of Queen Victoria of England in 1837 who had ascended the throne that year. It was an era when many exotic plants, such as this water lily, were cultivated.

Big Guy starts off his day getting harassed by bladder snails the moment he emerges from the sand and then immediately decides that it’s time to go back into the substrate where he is safe from such nonsense... i feel you, Big Guy. i’ll be returning to the safety and comfort of my blankets shortly too.

The recent satellite data from Brazil's space agency Inpe reveals that deforestation in the Brazilian portion of the Amazon rainforest hit a new record high last month.

As the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) states, the Amazon “is of vital importance because people around the world, as well as locally, depend on the rainforest. Not just for food, water, wood and medicines, but to help stabilise the climate — around 76 billion tonnes of carbon is stored in the Amazon rainforest. The trees in the Amazon also release 20 billion tonnes of water into the atmosphere per day, playing a critical role in global and regional carbon and water cycles.”
