Sad news from the Leipzig zoo: Pudu-Jungtier does not survive!

In the Leipzig zoo, there is exciting news: young talent for various animal species creates a festive mood among the zookeepers and visitors. The pregnancy of the female pudus, "Penelope" is particularly remarkable. This is of great importance before her first birth, which is of great importance not only for the zookeepers, but also for the entire zoo community, since it would be the first pudu birth in the Leipzig Zoo. Unfortunately, the next morning after the contractions it was found that the young animal was only born two thirds, but was already dead. The zookeepers are dismayed by this loss and are now trying to find out which factors led to this tragic result. They are in close contact with veterinarians to learn from experience and improve future rearing processes, since first births are often associated with risks, as the zooster Janet Pambor noted https://www.thueringen24.de/umland/article300518118/zoo-leipzig-mdr-elefant-tiger-co-wuchs-fruehlingsgefuehle.html

In addition to the pudu birth, there are gratifying developments at the Nandus in the zoo. The Nandu-Hahn "Hannibal" is finally the proud father after two years, which leads to great joy among the zoo seekers. The Nandus father duo is inseparable and always offers the zookeepers a nice spectacle. However, the amurleopards of the zoo remain a little reserved. There are hopes for young people, especially at Amurleopardin Kitan, but so far no progress has been shown https://www.thueringen24.de/umland/article300518118/zoo-leipzig-mdr-elefant-tiger-co-wuchs-fruehlingsgefuehle.html

Another highlight in the Leipzig zoo are the south pudus, the smallest deer in the world. The new Bock "Benjamin" only found its way into the zoo a few days ago. At first it was planned to keep it alone in the familiarization phase, but after a short time the curiosity between Benjamin and two female pudus caused a harmonious merging. The three animals quickly formed a close community and share sleep and berths. The zoo is planning to present the trio on the outdoor area, which significantly increases the anticipation of visitors. South pudus are considered an endangered way and their offspring is therefore of particular importance for species protection https://www.tag24.de/leipzig/zooleipzig/kleinste-hirsche-der-welt-der-leipziger-zoo-bald-ueber-ueber--Freuen-3313161 .

Overall, the Leipzig zoo shows itself as a place full of life and dynamics. The various developments and the positive exchange between the animals and their supervisors ensure that the zoo for young and old remains an exciting experience. Even if the sad moments like the pudu birth cannot be ignored, the hope for further success in the offspring remains strong. The zookeepers are working hard to continuously improve and look after the living conditions for all animals.
