Australia Zoo welcomes two red panda cubs

<p dir="ltr">Australia Zoo is celebrating the arrival of two red panda cubs, the first to be born at the Queensland-based facility run by the Irwin family.</p> <p dir="ltr">Announcing their birth on social media, the zoo posted, “Our Australia Zoo family has gotten a little bigger - Introducing our 2 red panda cubs! These two adorable fluff balls are enjoying lots of snuggles from their mama. This is a first for us and a proud moment to be giving this critically endangered species a helping hand.”</p> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p dir="ltr">Our <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/AustraliaZoo?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#AustraliaZoo</a> family has gotten a little bigger - Introducing our 2 red panda cubs❤️ These two adorable fluff balls are enjoying lots of snuggles from their mama.

They are considered endangered, largely as a result of habitat destruction and poaching.</p> <p dir="ltr">The zoo has also recently welcomed three cassowary chicks, and one of them, Fergo, has already become good friends with Bindi Irwin’s daughter, Grace. Irwin posted a photo on Instagram of the adorable pair last month, writing, “Two cute chickies! Meet Grace’s new best friend, Fergo, the cassowary chick. They absolutely love each other!

Taronga’s five new lion cubs make their public debut

<p dir="ltr">Taronga Zoo’s<span> </span><a rel="noopener" href="https://taronga.org.au/sydney-zoo/lion-cubs" target="_blank">new lion cubs</a><span> </span>have made their public debut and are now accepting visitors to their harbourside home in Mosman.</p> <p dir="ltr">The five cubs, three females, named Malika, Zuri, and Ayanna, and two males, named Khari and Luzuko, were born to experienced mum Maya and first-time dad Ato on August 12, which also happened to be dad’s fourth birthday.</p> <div class="embed"><iframe class="embedly-embed" src="https://cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2FcNMiveGs600%3Ffeature%3Doembed&amp;display_name=YouTube&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DcNMiveGs600&amp;image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FcNMiveGs600%2Fhqdefault.jpg&amp;key=5b465a7e134d4f09b4e6901220de11f0&amp;type=text%2Fhtml&amp;schema=youtube" width="450" height="253" scrolling="no" title="YouTube embed" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowfullscreen="true"></iframe></div> <p dir="ltr">Once the cubs turned 12 weeks old, they were ready to be introduced to their new home, under the watchful eye of mum Maya, of course. It has been over 18 years since lion cubs were born at Taronga Zoo, and this litter marks the first time there has been an entire pride in the zoo’s African Savannah.</p> <p dir="ltr">The cubs’ names are all Swahili, chosen by zoo supporters because of the lion’s African roots. Malika means ‘like a queen’, Zuri ‘beautiful’, and Ayanna ‘beautiful flower’, while Khari means ‘like a king’ and Luzuko, chosen by Taronga’s carnivore keepers, means ‘glory’.</p> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p dir="ltr">We're brimming with pride to announce the public debut of five beautiful lion cubs! 🐾🦁 <br /><br />The cubs who are now 12-weeks-old have taken their first steps into their new home under the watchful 👁️ of mum Maya!<br /><br />To find out more or to book tickets check out <a href="https://t.co/sC6cg9rIna">https://t.co/sC6cg9rIna</a> <a href="https://t.co/eKqEcH0Lh7">pic.twitter.com/eKqEcH0Lh7</a></p> — Taronga Zoo (@tarongazoo) <a href="https://twitter.com/tarongazoo/status/1456079093787729920?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 4, 2021</a></blockquote> <p dir="ltr">Mum and the cubs will have access to their exhibit from 10 am to 2 pm each day, and dad will be in the exhibit from 2 pm onwards. The zoo explains that just like any newborns, the cubs have “bursts of activity followed by napping and cuddling”, so their limited access to the exhibit reflects this; the family needs private time for very important napping and bonding time!</p> <p dir="ltr">This is the third litter for Maya, who was moved to Taronga from the zoo’s sister zoo in Dubbo last year, where she had lived since moving from a South African zoo in 2014.</p> <p dir="ltr">Carnivore unit supervisor Louise Ginman said that the cubs are growing at a rapid rate, currently weighing between 11 and 13kg each, and they’re already developing their own unique personalities. “Our guests are going to be in for a real treat every time they come to visit and see the cubs - with so many milestones on the horizon, no two visits will be the same,” Ms Ginman said.</p> <p dir="ltr"><em>Image: Rick Stevens/Taronga Zoo, Cameron Spencer/Getty Images</em></p>

Tiger casually walks along Gold Coast beach

<p>A tiger cub from Dreamworld on the Gold Coast has stunned onlookers when she casually strolled along Main Beach, dipping her paws in the ocean just like the rest of us.</p> <p>Adira the tiger cub was given the excursion of a lifetime yesterday morning, when handlers and police took her to the water’s edge in a novel – yet beautiful – attempt to raise awareness for tiger conservation.</p> <p>“Only 100 years ago, there were more than 100,000 tigers roaming the forests of Asia and Russia,” director of the Dreamworld Wildlife Foundation Al Mucci said in a statement. “Today, tigers are critically endangered with less than 3,000 left in the wild.”</p> <p>Adira was chosen from the park’s seven adult tigers and five cubs to take a walk along the beach to raise funds for the conservation of her species, and one lucky photographer had the opportunity to get up close and personal with the big cat, snapping some gorgeous – and surreal – photos of the experience.</p> <p>“Tigers in the wild would often encounter new environments and situations so it was a very enriching experience for Adira,” Mucci explained. “She seems to have loved her first, and most-likely only, visit to a Gold Coast beach.</p> <p>Take a look at Adira’s morning by the sea in the gallery above.

The adorable reason why these cub siblings are holding hands

<p>A photographer has captured the incredible moment two bear cubs held paws as they waited for their mother to catch them food in Alaska.</p> <p>Lewis Kemper, 62, from California, managed to captured the picture of the pair of cubs in Lake Clark National Park.</p> <p>“The two bears held hands for around 20 seconds, hoping their mother would bring them some dinner but unfortunately, she came back fishless,” he said.</p> <p>You can see the smaller cub clinging to the bigger sibling's back. The mother bear was hunting for salmon, but didn’t manage to catch anything.</p> <p>Kemper said: “Although bears love their fish, most of them are omnivores and mainly eat plants and of course, a lot of grass.”</p> <p>He said bears are great animals to photography, noting, “'Bears are usually very calm.”</p> <p>Scroll through the gallery above to see more of Kemper’s photos of the bear family. </p> <p><strong>Related links:</strong></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a href="/lifestyle/family-pets/2016/07/test-to-find-out-how-smart-your-dog-is/"><em>Take this test to find out how smart your dog is</em></a></strong></span></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a href="/lifestyle/family-pets/2016/07/why-do-dogs-tilt-their-head/"><em>Why do dogs tilt their head?</em></a></strong></span></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a href="/lifestyle/family-pets/2016/07/9-tips-for-calming-your-cat/"><em>9 tips for calming your cat</em></a></strong></span></p>

Giant panda cub born in Belgian zoo

<p>A baby giant panda has been born in a Belgian zoo, a rare event for an endangered species that numbers fewer than 2000 worldwide.</p> <p>The healthy male cub was born in the early hours of Thursday (Thursday night NZ Time) at the Paira Daiza wildlife park to six-year-old Hao Hao and her mate Xing Hui.</p> <p>The pink, blind, hairless cub weighed just 171 grams. Hao Hao's "probable" pregnancy was announced just two weeks ago, accompanied by caution about detecting the tiny fetus.</p> <p>The cub, to be given a name later, emerged as "a little pink sausage" and gave a loud cry before being scooped up in Hao Hao's mouth, the park's zoological director Tim Bouts said.</p> <p>Mother and baby were now doing well, he said, "but we are still in a risky period".</p> <p>The zoo, which has hosted the pair since 2014 under an arrangement with the Chinese authorities, co-operated with experts from the animals' native China to treat the mother by artificial insemination.</p> <p>World nature organisation WWF says a survey in 2014 found only 1864 giant pandas living in the wild, almost double the numbers in the late 1970s and 17 per cent up in a decade.</p> <p>As part of efforts to save the species, which has been hit hard by human encroachment on the highlands where they survive almost entirely on a diet of bamboo, more than 300 pandas now live in zoos, mostly in China.</p> <p>They notoriously struggle to reproduce in captivity, however though artificial breeding techniques and better knowledge of their needs has seen an increase in births in recent years.</p> <p>Pairi Daiza said Belgium had become the third country in Europe to see the successful reproduction of pandas after Austria and Spain. The last successful birth in Europe was at Madrid three years ago.</p> <p>Watch the video above to see Hao Hao caring for her newborn. Don’t worry, she’s not in that tiny enclosure all the time. Zoologists were on hand to help her in case there were any complications.</p> <p>Did you know that panda cubs looked like that when they are first born?

An adorable bear cub beckoning for a fight

<p>Small animals doing cute, human-like things is guilty pleasure for most. Even though that animal may grow up to be imposing and potentially very, very dangerous, it’s all well and good when their paws are akin to a large household dog.</p> <p>They say that they learn the best through imitation but we haven’t seen too many full grown bears act like this. Watch this small bear cub stand on its hind legs and wobble to the ground. Before so however, he seems to beckon the camera holder toward him as if ready for a fight.
