The owners of the Wildlands zoo said the animals must have been killed by an outside predator, such as a fox or marten. No other animals had escaped from their enclosures, spokeswoman Hanneke Wijshake told broadcaster RTV Drenthe.
“The penguins had bite marks, but we’re not sure from which animal. A marten or fox may have done this or perhaps a feral cat or polecat,” zoo worker Henk Kuiper said.
The zoo is still investigating where the animals might have entered the penguin enclosure, which has now been cordoned off with electric wire to protect the remaining penguins. A wildlife camera has been installed to detect the culprit.
Such attacks are rare, Kuiper said. In 2003, 11 penguins at Burgers Zoo in Arnhem were bitten to death by a fox.

After years of restricted access, visitors were once again allowed to experience Broken Circle/Spiral Hill, the land art installation by American artist Robert Smithson, during guided tours this past weekend. The site, located in a former sand quarry near Emmen, was accessible only on Saturday and Sunday through sold-out bus excursions, NOS reports.
is the only work of his located outside the United States and one of the first examples of large-scale land art in the Netherlands
The project was commissioned for the 1971 exhibition Sonsbeek buiten de perken
Smithson died in a plane crash during a scouting mission for another land art project in Texas
The installation was completed posthumously by his wife
The artwork consists of two main features: Spiral Hill
a spiral-shaped path that leads to a grassy hilltop
an artificial peninsula built into a circular offshoot of a lake with a large glacial boulder placed at its center
The site sits on private property belonging to the Zand- en Exploitatie Maatschappij Emmen (Emmen Sand and Extraction Company)
Access to the area had been strictly prohibited for years due to its location in the active sand excavation site
limited excursions have now been approved for 2025
the entire artwork was designated a provinciaal monument
A separate application for national heritage status is still under review
visitors can no longer view the land art in its original state
rising groundwater levels have submerged parts of the artificial landmass
“The view from Spiral Hill over Broken Circle is incredible
You can even see fish swimming through the artwork,” said a visitor from Wageningen to NOS
noting the clarity of the blue-green water
the organization responsible for managing the site
explained that fluctuating water levels have long impacted the artwork’s visibility
The water level was so low that Broken Circle was completely dry,” Reenders told NOS
This weekend’s excursions were the first public visits allowed in years
Visitors expressed enthusiasm and awe at the scale and significance of the piece
I’ve always wanted to see it with my own eyes
And now it’s finally possible again,” a man from Utrecht told RTV Drenthe
“It’s impressive and much larger than you’d expect from photographs.”
visitors could take in the full scope of the work
set against the altered landscape of the former quarry
Though changes in water level have distorted the piece from its original form
many said the natural transformations added new layers of meaning
"Art isn’t something you just stick in a museum and look at once," a woman standing atop the grass-covered Spiral Hill told NOS
Land Art Contemporary plans to organize 14 additional excursions to the site this year
The next visits are scheduled for the weekend of May 10 and 11
More trips are also planned for Open Monumentendag in September
2024 has been an incredible year for Dutch talent Kim Emmen
with an impressive Olympic debut quickly followed by a podium finish with her country in the Longines League of Nations™ Final
Being selected for the Olympics is an achievement in itself
but Emmen could never have imagined her dramatic ascent over a week in Paris
The 29-year-old went from Netherlands team reserve to team anchor to breakout star in a matter of days
Emmen and her grey gelding Imagine travelled to Versailles as reserve; after the first inspection they were promoted by Dutch Chef d’Equipe Jos Lansink into the team
The difference between a medal and no medal was just half a second
She said: “I don't suffer from tension easily
The Individual qualifier was Imagine’s third clear of the week – a phenomenal performance in what was the pair’s debut in a major international championship
fatigue kicked in and a glorious podium finish just wasn’t meant to be
Emmen said a lack of fitness and experience meant errors on course and in the end the pair settled for 23rd overall
having arrived in Versailles not even expecting to compete
Emmen reflected on her round: “The course was super to ride
it wasn't that you had to make dramatic decisions somewhere
You had to know what you were going to do.”
The KWPN gelding floated over those 1.65m Olympic jumps for the most part and wasn’t fazed by anything out in that arena
Emmen continued: “I'm super happy that I got to ride at the Olympics and I think I showed well for all the upcoming championships.”
within weeks the pair were again representing The Netherlands
this time in the Longines League of Nations™ Final in Barcelona (ESP)
In the inaugural final for this new competition
the Dutch team again proved their worth among the best
Emmen and Imagine went clear in the first round and ultimately helped the Dutch to second place in the final behind only champions Germany
Their Olympic debut was dazzling and they’ve already backed that up at the highest level
Emmen has gained invaluable championship experience and greater knowledge on just what it takes to compete for the biggest prizes

The impressive Imagine has been paired with Kim Emmen only since October 2023
but the duo has already achieved many clear rounds
The gray gelding managed to leave his competitors far behind in the race for ‘Jumping Horse of the Year 2024,’ earning him this prestigious title
Dutch breeders and sport enthusiasts had the chance to vote for their favorites
and the showjumping horse to be highlighted at the KWPN Stallion Show has been announced
secured the most votes and thus receives the title of ‘Jumping Horse of the Year 2024.’

Viscaal from Albergen) delivered a top-class performance at the Paris Olympic Games
This happened after the rider took over the reins from Irish rider Conor Drain in October 2023
the duo achieved three days of flawless rounds
Kim speaks highly of the Cassini Gold son: “He doesn’t get easily impressed and gives a very safe feeling
That makes him easy to ride.” In Valencia
the rider and the gelding were also faultless twice during the Big Tour
and at the Grand Prix of Maastricht this year
the duo delivered clear rounds in both rounds
CeremonyThe ceremony for the Jumping Horse of the Year will take place during the Thursday of the KWPN Stallion Show
Thursday focuses on showjumping sport and breeding
Alongside the finals of the Blom Stallion Competition Jumping

Kim Emmen is seeing one of her top horses leave the stable. Island V G (Zirocco Blue VDL) made his debut with his new rider, Geir Gulliksen, on Friday. Together with the KWPN gelding bred by J. Van Gestel, Gulliksen competed in the 1.45m event in Riesenbeck.
Although Eric Berkhof sold the gelding to Gulliksen earlier this year, Kim Emmen continued to compete with him internationally until the beginning of this month. Their last international appearance was during the Longines Global Champions Tour 'kick-off' in Doha.
Together with the son of VDL Zirocco Blue, Emmen achieved numerous international successes. The duo shined during the Global Champions League in Monte Carlo and secured a spot on the 1.50m podium in Valkenswaard. Additionally, they claimed victory in the CSI4* 1.45m event in Vejer de la Frontera in 2022. From now on, the gelding will represent the Norwegian flag.
Kim Emmen is seeing one of her top horses leave the stable. Island V G (Zirocco Blue VDL) made his debut with his new rider, Geir Gulliksen, on Friday. Together with the KWPN gelding bred by J. Van Gestel, Gulliksen competed in the 1.45m event in Riesenbeck.
Kim Emmen says goodbye to Macho V after one year. The BWP stallion is a descendant of Falco x Quidam de Revel, from the breeding of Leo Vermeiren.
In the summer of 2023, Kim Emmen took a seat in the saddle of the 12-year-old stallion and soon after brought him to the start at five-star level for the first time. In the GCL of Riyadh, the pair even registered a clear round at 1m55 height.
Their first podium place followed a month later, in the CSI4* of Maastricht, where they finished third. The pair failed to record a victory together.
The Rostal-born Macho took his first steps on the international stage under the saddle of Thibaut Huyvaert, who presented him at CSI2* level in Knokke in the summer of 2021. His passage did not go unnoticed and he moved to the stables of Leonie Peeters. She took the reins at the end of 2021, until the beginning of 2023. After that, Pieter Clemens took a month in the saddle, until Kim Emmen came into the picture.

A second young elephant has died at Wildlands Adventure Zoo Emmen within five days
both likely due to the highly lethal elephant endotheliotropic herpesvirus (EEHV)
The deaths have left the zoo’s elephant herd in mourning and under increased observation by their caretakers
The latest death occurred Wednesday evening when Ka Yan
Ka Yan had shown symptoms earlier in the day
Veterinary experts at Utrecht University’s Faculty of Veterinary Medicine confirmed that Nagarr’s death was caused by EEHV
Preliminary assessments suggest Ka Yan was also infected with the virus
EEHV poses a significant threat to young elephants
whose immune systems are not yet fully developed
The virus is known for its rapid progression
often leading to death within hours or days after symptoms appear
“Ka Yan started showing signs of distress in the morning,” the zoo said in a statement
The zoo's caretakers have isolated the herd’s two remaining young males
to minimize stress and closely monitor their health
The deaths have deeply impacted not only the elephant herd but also the zoo’s staff and visitors
the herd was allowed to mourn and say their goodbyes
a practice believed to help elephants process loss
“This tragedy affects everyone at Wildlands deeply,” the zoo stated
“We are doing everything possible to support the remaining elephants during this difficult time.”
The EEHV virus is one of the leading causes of death among young elephants
a young African elephant named Bumi died of EEHV at Ouwehands Zoo in Rhenen
Bumi became lethargic in the afternoon and passed away within hours
There is currently no vaccine or definitive treatment for EEHV
Scientists around the world are collaborating to develop preventive measures or effective treatments
Wildlands has been actively involved in these efforts
partnering with Utrecht University on research aimed at combating the virus

Emmen is a member of the Cannes Stars powered by the Iron Dames, the team currently dominating this season of the Global Champions Tour.
Following today's initial practice session for the show jumpers in Paris' Olympic arena, it's been decided that Kim Emmen will compete tomorrow in place of Willem Greve. TeamNL's show jumpers will be qualifying for the Olympic team event tomorrow.
"After the Grand Prix of the dressage riders, the show jumpers trained this evening in the impressive Olympic arena at Versailles.

three Olympic first-timers from three nations around the globe earned the unusual distinction of jumping three
consecutive clear rounds at the Paris Games
All will head into the Individual Final on Tuesday
where they’ll face down not only one another
but a field of experienced veterans as well
“Rookie” is hardly the first word that comes to mind when one thinks of Daniel Coyle
a man whose name makes headlines more often than not thanks to his 47 1.60m podium finishes
and more than $4.6 million in career earnings
But Coyle’s six-year-long partnership with the 14-year-old Zangersheide mare, Legacy (owned by Coyle and Ariel Grange) has, in large part, been the making of him
trusting the mare’s speed and experience to power through the 14-obstacle-track’s trickiest portions—including one particular scope test: a stretch-and-squeeze triple
the third fastest clear in the field of 74
Jumping fault-free a whopping 83% of the time in their six rounds together at 1.60m this year
Coyle and Legacy are virtually unmatched for consistency at the championship-level height
They are also one of only three combinations in the world to win two
two remain to compete in the Individual Final: Martin Fuchs (SUI) and Leone Jei and Christian Kukuk and Checker 47 (GER)
Finishing 9th in the Individual Qualifier today
Kim Emmen was called up by Dutch chef d’équipe Jos Lansink less than a week ago to replace Willem Greve and Grandorado TN N.O.P
Emmen delivered three clear rounds—and that’s not all
She’s currently the only rider on the Dutch team who hasn’t dropped a rail
and the only female rider currently ranked in the top-10 going into Tuesday’s Individual Final
end-of-class spot on the startlist thanks to her speedy
and despite being partnered with Imagine for less than a year
she and the gelding have clearly forged a partnership
they jump clear and finish in the top 10 at 38%
They’re more consistent at the slightly lower 1.55m height
56% of them clear (they finish in the top 10 at the same clip)
who was also called up to replace Kent Farrington and Greya for the Team event four days ago and just hours before the deadline
they added a third clear to their resume in the Individual Qualifier
finishing 16th in the rankings on a time of 76.97 seconds
“Being able to ride for the U.S. team is something you work for your whole life, and it’s really something special. And then, to be able to jump clear, especially when there’s a lot of doubt as to whether I could—doubt because I didn’t in the past, and I had some bad showings—it was such a great moment,” a visibly emotional Cook said during his Walking and Talking series on Instagram
One of the “showings” Cook is likely referring to is the 2023 Pan American Games in Santiago
he and the uber-talented 12-year-old Selle Français mare Caracole de La Roque struggled to a 34th-place individual finish before rallying to help the American team to gold
the pair have earned three wins and one 2nd place in *5 competition
and also finish in the top 10 88% of the time
Ironically, one of Cook’s biggest competitors in the Individual Final is likely to be fellow Olympic rookie and Caracole’s former rider, Julien Epaillard
The Frenchman dropped a rail in the Team Final but tops the startlist on a blazing time of 73.07 seconds going into Tuesday
Can any of our three rookies make it four for four? Tune in tomorrow to find out!

The Dutch federation today announced the Olympic teams for Paris 2024
the Dutch riders will be introduced together with their national coach
Harrie Smolders and Maikel van der Vleuten will go to the City of Light
Kim Emmen joins the male trio led by Jos Lansink as reserve rider
you need a horse that doesn't look left or right and a rider who doesn't either and
Kim rode a strong first round in the Nations Cup in Rotterdam and continued that form into the Grand Prix
where she was really under pressure to show herself
She did that super," Lansink justified his choice for the 29-year-old rider
Their Olympic competition is scheduled from August 1 to 6
National coach Jos Lansink is looking forward to the battle in Paris
"The first three riders were of course already fixed in my mind for some time
They also have the advantage of having a very good second horse at their disposal
With only three riders in a team it shouldn't be against us
In Rotterdam you saw how close everything was
but in a Nations Cup you need clear rounds otherwise you don't compete
I am really very happy with these four combinations
they are real championship riders with very good horses."
"We are definitely going for a medal with this competitive team
but in my opinion we are not among the favorites," Harrie Smolders spoke
The dressage riders will compete for medals from July 30 to August 4
Dressage team coach Patrick van der Meer says of the composition of his team
"I am super proud of the performances the riders and horses delivered during the observation competitions
It was all very close together and it is a luxury position that we have such a good group."
"We clearly stated in advance that the NK and CHIO Rotterdam were the observation competitions for this year
If you add up the results you arrive at this order
but also if you look at the form and follow your feeling
At CHIO Rotterdam we got a lot of compliments on the Dutch performance
I am going to do everything I can to maintain the good form of the team so that everyone can see in Paris what the Dutch dressage team is capable of," said national coach Patrick van der Meer
The eventing riders kick off the equestrian competition in Paris
"I'm looking forward to going to Paris with these four riders."
"My goal -and mission- is to achieve a top 6-8 ranking with the team and I am confident that these riders can do that
The competitions we have participated in in preparation have ensured that we travel to Paris very well prepared
Horses and riders have shown they can do it," spoke national coach Andrew Heffernan

Jurrien Timber, Sebastien Haller, Devyne Rensch and Davy Klaassen all scored as Ajax overwhelmed their relegation-threatened opponents
who had come into the fixture on the back of three straight wins but were no match for the champions
- Eredivisie on ESPN+: Stream LIVE games and replays (U.S. only)
The victory moves Ajax to 79 points from 31 games, 15 ahead of second-placed PSV Eindhoven, who play later on Sunday at home to Heerenveen but have only four matches remaining
Ajax retain the title they won two years ago after the championship was called off in the 2019-20 campaign due to the COVID-19 pandemic. They were joint top of the table at the time with AZ Alkmaar after 25 matches in the 34-game season
The title win caps an excellent week for Ajax after coach Erik ten Hag also signed a new contract to keep him at the club until June 2023

The victory moves Ajax to 79 points from 31 games, 15 ahead of second-placed PSV Eindhoven, who play later on Sunday at home to Heerenveen but have only four matches remaining
Ajax retain the title they won two years ago after the championship was called off in the 2019-20 campaign due to the COVID-19 pandemic. They were joint top of the table at the time with AZ Alkmaar after 25 matches in the 34-game season
The title win caps an excellent week for Ajax after coach Erik ten Hag also signed a new contract to keep him at the club until June 2023

It is unclear whether anything was done about these alarming signals
The 53-year-old woman and her 56-year-old partner lived in the Drenthe village of Schoonebeek
They’d been together for decades and had four children
It was an open secret in the village that things were not going well
The man could not accept that the relationship had ended
he waited for his ex at her job at the childcare center De Kameleon in Hardenberg
He stabbed her as she tried to get into her car
Many children and their parents witnessed the violence
The man then stabbed himself in the stomach
He too was taken to hospital and the police arrested him there
Chairman Jos van Hees of Dorpsbelangen Schoonebeek told RTV Drenthe that the village council had been aware of the situation in the family for some time
but we passed the signal on to the mayor during a visit in July.” According to Van Hees
the mayor said that he was already aware of the situation
Van Hees doesn’t know if anything was done
confirmed to RTV Drenthe that the police knew about the family
He also did not say whether the family received any support
“The police are currently investigating the circumstances and the municipality will also be involved in this,” he said
This is the second tragedy to hit Emmen this year. Early this year, a man from Weiteveen shot a married couple dead after a long ongoing argument about the condition of the house they bought from him
The case received extensive publicity because the man live-streamed a confession shortly after the double murder
Arriva’s new night train between Zwolle and Schiphol made its first trip early Saturday morning
The introduction of the service fulfills a longstanding request from Almere and Lelystad
where local officials believe the train will primarily benefit nightlife crowds and travelers heading to Schiphol
Arriva has operated a Friday-to-Saturday night train from Groningen to Amsterdam and the airport
The new connection from Zwolle expands the service and now operates both Friday and Saturday nights
Train enthusiasts were among the first to board the new service
celebrating the inaugural ride with a DJ playing music and refreshments being offered
Or if people are out in Amsterdam and want to get home.”
While night trains are not uncommon in the Netherlands
launching this particular service required overcoming regulatory challenges
The route runs on the country’s main rail network
which is generally reserved for Nederlandse Spoorwegen (NS) passenger trains under government regulations
Recent open-access rules allowed Arriva to operate on NS-controlled tracks
provided its trains do not interfere with NS schedules
Because NS does not operate night services along the Zwolle-Almere-Lelystad corridor
“We read in the newspaper that Almere wanted a night train and had asked NS about the costs,” an Arriva spokesperson said
“So we proposed an option based on the open-access regulations.”
NS does not oppose the train itself but objects to its funding structure
The cities of Almere and Lelystad have agreed to provide up to 100,000 euros in subsidies to Arriva to support the service
“We believe open-access services under European rules should not be subsidized,” an NS spokesperson stated
adding that NS would have preferred to run the service itself
Arriva maintains that Almere has thoroughly examined the legal basis for the subsidy and insists it is permitted
the less public funding the service receives
Arriva’s night service does not support the OV-chipkaart system for check-ins
Passengers must buy tickets in advance via a dedicated app or purchase them onboard for an additional 2.50 euros surcharge
Transportation economist Bert van Wee views the new service as a positive development for travelers
“Passengers gain more options when NS is not running.” However
he warned that increased market competition in the future could lead to complications
Arriva will push the argument that they are more efficient than NS and that more market competition should be introduced.”
Van Wee cautioned that further liberalization of the rail market might not benefit passengers
“If these types of initiatives lead to full market opening
it could actually be negative for passengers
More competition may require more transfers between different operators.” He also noted that integrating more private operators into the Netherlands’ already congested rail system could prove challenging
