Here comes the boom – the baby boom!
Zoo babies are stealing the spotlight this summer at your zoo. Already this year, we’ve welcomed a near-threatened southern bald ibis chick, three tiny spur-winged lapwing chicks, two lively North American river otter pups, two threatened wood bison calves, three critically endangered black-and-white ruffed lemur pups, and most recently, a vulnerable Humboldt penguin chick along with a second near-threatened southern bald ibis chick.
But there’s more to come! In addition to awaiting the birth of an endangered Malayan tapir, we’re eagerly celebrating the pregnancies of some other unique species. While cautiously optimistic, both of our adult female rock hyraxes are pregnant, and, while not confirmed, we’re crossing our hooves for Turkmenian markhor kids following observed breeding!
Don’t miss out—there’s something new waiting around every corner at the zoo this summer! Plan your visit to discover the joy of baby animals, reconnect with your favourite species, and make unforgettable memories.
