Aww,  thanks
Zoos aren't always perfect in that, but luckily, this time it worked out

It is so cute! Great shot of the little bugger. It is sad about the other baby though

Thanks
And yeah, I know It's pretty hard to come by information with this zoo - I really have to visit to find out new things, and I follow the page of the zoo's photographer (that's how I sometimes find out they've added a new animal to the collection). Sadly, a lot of young animals still die in this place, and you won't know unless you notice it yourself

That is sad you would think that with it being a zoo they would be able to better care for the animals.

It's existed for 10 years, but sometimes I fear the zookeepers themselves aren't too experienced yet
