Animal births

16.6.2023 – Porcupines

In the middle of June two still little prickly young animals were born at our porcupines. The babies are born with short, soft spines that harden only after about a week. In the meantime, however, they are already as prickly as a real little porcupine should be.

20.5.2023 – Calico baby

Our lively calico gang has a cute new addition who is curiously discovering the world from his parents’ back. For the first six months it is suckled by its mother and stays close to her.

05.05.2023 – Reindeer calf

In May, an adorable reindeer calf was born at the zoo – in perfect health, it runs around the enclosure next to its mommy! Hard to believe that it will one day weigh up to 300 kg.

Our young bald eagle was born on March 16. The fluffy little gray bundle of feathers can now be admired as a dark-feathered juvenile on the grounds.

On May 30 and June 4, beautiful donkey foals were born – healthy and happy as a lark!

In May, the zoo was very happy to welcome cute new additions to the hanging-eared goats!

05/28/2021 – New-born Leo Twins

The merry month of May brought a happy event. Lion lady Xenia gave birth to two boys, a boy and a girl, who have been to be admired in the lion enclosure with her family since August. Their names are Taio and Ursel.

03/12/2021 – House donkey Lucy

The little bay house filly, born in March, was christened Lucy in June. Baby Lucy is the daughter of mare Rosi and stallion Tequila.

The little alpaca mare was born on January 9th.
Not to be confused with a llama: Alpacas have much fluffier fur and are smaller than llamas.
They also have smaller, upright ears.
