GRAND OPENING!
That's it! It's official! The Red Star National Zoo located in Beijing, China, is now open! We have animals from the east; from the west, from the north and even the south! Maybe, if you keep your eyes peeled, you might even see our mascot is from a time far gone!
So, well, he's sleeping. You know, it's tough work being famous.Babies on BoardAnd, even our animals are getting into the spirit of things by giving us some amazing pictures for the Grand Opening celebration. Incidentally, the opening celebration seemed to have perfectly matched up with the birth of four Geleda babies!
Monkey see, Monkey do is what people like to say; and it's proven by this baby getting tips from his mom on how to dig for tasty bugs.Out of the already large troop of four adult Females and two adult Males, the birth of three new females and a lone male brings out Geleda total up to ten; three of which will probably be released to the wild to boost their populations. Stay tuned to find out what's going to happen to these brand new babies!
Also, in the Sindh Ibex corral, we seem to have another small addition to our zoo; a new male, as yet un-named. He's lively and loves to jump around off the Oak trees. He will soon be joined by another Ibex kid, and when they are both weaned, they will be shipped over to the Agenobashi Zoo for a new home.
Even though he's a trouble maker, even our new Ibex kid needs some down time with mom.And, finally, the last of our new additions, also to be shipped to the Agenobashi zoo when he's old enough, our new Cave Lion cub! He's very quiet and shy around most of our Keepers, but he seems to have a certain affinity for one of our Keeper's pant legs in particular. He is also known for destroying Small Toy Balls, having popped a total of eight (at last count) in his life!
