Theodora is the mother and the baby has been named Java.Yeah, I just saw this on La Menagerie's Facebook page!! It's great news. I wasn't sure what to expect on my initial visit, but the staff really does a bang up job given their limitations.
There have been recent observations of tool use by Visayan warty pigs at Jardin des Plantes, the first time tool use has been recorded in any pig.
Priscilla, the adult female warty pig, has been observed using pieces of bark and sticks to dig nest pits in the ground. The behaviour has been picked up, with varying degrees of success, by two other pigs in the enclosure.
Here is an article about the discovery:
These rare pigs can dig it. With a tool, that is. And moonwalk too

On Oct. 11 a Gaur was born .
.
I saw both in February this year indoors!It seems that the info was missed on Zoochat : Last year a Goodfellow's tree-kangaroo was born to female Kau Kau. The baby is a girl.
And you didn't tell to Zoochatters !
Nope, I thought as the offspring had been born last year everyone on here would know!And you didn't tell to Zoochatters !
Actually, I am really surprised it has not yet created a racket or ruck and ensuing mayhem here.
(maybe the nerds and freaks have an off-day ...?)

Due to the covid-19 crisis the transfer of the tasmanian devils is delayed to 2021.
Until they arrive, the zoo put in the enclosure a kirk dik-dil family of 4 members : a male, two females and a young born early this year.
