AKARTA: The Ragunan Zoo in South Jakarta will have four new animals in its collection by the end of this year as a part of a cooperation program with a European zoo launched earlier this year.
The zoo’s public relations head Wahyudi Bambang told The Jakarta Post Monday the zoo would get a capuchin monkey, a ring-tailed lemur, a marmoset and an ostrich from Hungary’s Nyireghazi Allatpark Sosto Zoo.
“Last month, we received a male zebra from the zoo and have recently put it together with our female zebras,” he said.
In February, Ragunan lent a pair of Komodo Dragons to the Hungarian zoo. They will be returned after a five-year breeding program.
Ragunan is currently home to more than 200 animal species. — JP
