  • Exceptional! A baby gorilla was born January 22, 2019 at the zoo of Saint-Martin-la-Plaine.
This small female weighs just under 2kg and was born on January 22, almost 10 years after the last birth recorded in the zoo.
The happy parents are called Gypsy and Likale and are 18 years old.
The baby does not have a name yet, but Eliane and Pierre Thivillon, owners of the zoo, are working hard on it.
It is the 13th gorilla tenant at the zoo.
Pierre and Eliane are housed inside the zoo, in Digit's apartment, a 21-year-old female gorilla they collected when she was 2 1/2 days old.
The zoological area of Saint-Martin-la-Plaine is one of the five French parks to present gorillas.<br />

  • This is the second baby giraffe to be born at the zoo in Lyon since the installation of the African plains in 2007. He was born at the end of January.<br />
As this can also happen when giraffes are born in the wild, the mother of the baby giraffe has abandoned its small and the zoo teams have implemented a strict protocol to allow the animal to be fed without bottle-fed; there are only 3000 in Africa and 74 in captivity in Europe. The Lyon Zoo participates in the European breeding program for this subspecies. This baby giraffe Lyon is the second to be born since the beginning of 2015 in Europe and the City of Lyon Lyon offers to vote for their favorite name among three proposals: Yanci (Freedom), Wayo (malignant) or TSAWO (The Great)<br />
These names are all of a dialect of Niger, region of origin of giraffes.

  • Its tail which presents several open wound<br />
Here is Jon, lion of 10 or 15 years old recovered a few days ago by the Tonga association.<br />
This starving lion, arrived in St Martin la Plaine, was entrusted by "One Voice" association, further to a seizure by the authorities in a circus in Normandy.<br />
He weighs only 116kg, almost half the weight of a lion his age.<br />
His coat is very damaged with many skinless areas.<br />
It is a bruised lion, it bears many wounds on the body, in particular on its tail which presents several open wounds some of which are very deep.<br />
The state of its dentition is very degraded, several teeth are very damaged and it no longer has a hook.<br />
Jon has no claws either.<br />
He has a very soft character, he shows no sign of aggressiveness and even seeks contact.<br />
The former owner claims that because of the coronavirus, he could not feed him ...<br />
And what about the wounds? <br />
Once healed, a place awaits Jon in a reserve in South Africa<br />

  • The French artist Julien Durix is committed to the animals of the Association «Tonga» and the Saint-Martin-la-Plaine Zoological Park<br />
The public will be able to come and discover the unpublished work of Julien Durix in the heart of the Parc Zoologique de Saint-Martin-la Plaine.<br />
The work, composed of more than 1,500 roses, will be exhibited to the public<br />
throughout the summer.<br />
Very sensitive to the actions undertaken by the Association "Tonga Terre d accueil » and touched by the benevolence of the park employees, French artist Julien Durix offered to help them. <br />
The health crisis having jeopardized years of animal protection, his friend and digital advisor Idrys Yahiaoui, living near the refuge, alerted him to the situation.<br />
Indeed, the park spends around 150,000 euros in monthly costs, just to feed the animals.<br />
Julien therefore chose to create a totally unique work, representing Gincko, one of the emblematic animals of the site.<br />
The unpublished work of 220 x 160 cm, handmade on silk roses, will be exceptionally presented to the public from Wednesday July 14, 2021 in the Zoological Park of Saint-Martin-la-Plaine<br />
This unique piece will be offered at an auction organized with the support of Galeries Bartoux and Maison Tajan.<br />
The funds raised by this sale will be entirely donated to the benefit of the Association « Tonga terre d accueil ».<br />
It is with pleasure that Julien Durix, who has already donated works to associations, this time is committed to the animal cause.<br />
The work is estimated at 19,000 euros

  • 20 years ago," the Crocodile Farm of Pierrelatte" was opened by Eric and Luc Fougeirol. This site has seen several million visitors, making it the most visited tourist site in the Drôme and the second in Rhône-Alpes.
In a landscaped greenhouse of 8000 m ² more than 450 animals evolve freely: crocodiles, giant tortoises of Seychelles and Galápagos (weighing from 80 to 150 kg) and tropical birds. 

The goal of Samuel Martin, the director, is to reach, in five years, the 4000 000 visitors by proposing more animals on a wider range
With the 29 permanent employees, the farm registered last year 285 000 entrances and a four million euro turnover.
A new greenhouse of 1500 m ² has just been built to be able to welcome, next spring, snakes, lizards, fishes, birds and other aquatic tortoises.

But the Crocodile Farm is more than a zoo: it is also a scientific research center on the reptiles, that collaborates with researchers of the whole world.
To meet the demands of biological studies of French and foreign researchers, and many prestigious scientific institutions such as le College de France, the CNRS, and the National Museum of Natural History, the Crocodile Farm has established in 1998  a laboratory and a hatchery, allowing the establishment of numerous partnerships leading to the publication of articles in international scientific journals.
Among them, Béatrice Thivichon-Prince, odontolgue of the University of Lyon examined the faculties of regeneration of the teeth of crocodiles. Indeed their teeth fall and grow again more of fifty times during their life. His department looks for applications has the human scale.

A new greenhouse of 1500 m ² has just been built to be able to welcome, next spring, snakes, lizards, fishes, birds and other aquatic tortoises.

But the Crocodile Farm is more than a zoo: it is also a scientific research center on the reptiles, that collaborates with researchers of the whole world.
To meet the demands of biological studies of French and foreign researchers, and many prestigious scientific institutions such as le College de France, the CNRS, and the National Museum of Natural History, the Crocodile Farm has established in 1998  a laboratory and a hatchery, allowing the establishment of numerous partnerships leading to the publication of articles in international scientific journals.
Among them, Béatrice Thivichon-Prince, odontolgue of the University of Lyon examined the faculties of regeneration of the teeth of crocodiles. Indeed their teeth fall and grow again more of fifty times during their life. His department looks for applications has the human scale.
