 NYIREGYHAZA ZOO NAMED BEST IN EUROPE ONCE AGAIN - HUNGARY TODAY NEWS

EXCERPT:  In the evaluation system, zoos are assessed on the basis of visitor numbers, species conservation, quality of zoo education, profitability, and organizational performance, among other key criteria.  Criteria examined include species range, husbandry, conservation, visitor experience, marketing investment, and staff numbers.

It is noteworthy that this zoo has more animals and exhibits then, for example, the zoos in London, Stuttgart, or Zurich, he said, noting that a key factor in the score is if the zoo's botanical section is 'in good shape' alongside its zookeeping section.

HUNGARY TODAY : PIGMY HIPPOS BORN at NYIREGYHAZA ZO  As part of the European Endangered Species Programme (EEP) two Pigmy hippos, one from France, and the other from Denmark, who have been living at the zoo since 2009, have bred.  This is the fourth time - as they had offspring in 2011, 2015, and 2017 as well.
