Zoo Leipzig: Koala Vater on call - Yuma should fulfill!

The Leipzig Zoo, a popular destination since its opening in 1878, continues his efforts to keep the future of animal husbandry. On the 27 -hectare area of ​​the zoo, work is currently being carried out on various projects as part of the “Zoo of the Future” master plan. A transformation is in particular in the Koalahaus.

There was a significant change recently when the Koala male Bouddi, the first young animal of Koala female mandia, left the zoo. At the recommendation of the European Conservation Breeding Program (EEP), Bouddi was moved to Planckendael in Belgium, where he should provide further youngsters together with the new Koala man Yuma. The interest in breeding Koalas in the Leipzig Zoo remains great.

The koalahaus des Zoo recently no longer has a separation between the Koalas, which has not yet led to offspring. According to nurse Philipp Hünemeyer, there is a relaxed but unromantic mood between the animals. In order to increase the chances of younger young people, the zoo plans to temporarily separate the Koala male Yuma from the females. The goal is to increase interest among the Koalas and thus increase the chances of a romantic approach.

Yuma, who recently moved from the Duisburg Zoo to the Leipzig Koalas, has settled in well. He has moved into the neighborhood of mandia and will be visible to visitors both in the inner and outdoor area. Senior Curator Ariel Jacken is optimistic about the breeding efforts in the Koalahaus and hopes for positive offspring.

Developments in the Leipzig Zoo are part of a larger trend to promote reproduction of endangered animal species. With the support of breeding programs and a well thought -out management, the zoo pursues the goal of continuing to offer a home for these fascinating animals in the future.
