Berlin Zoo Zoo Berlin News

During March a rare hatching took place at Berlin Zoo. 2 Maguari storks hatched. 2009 they were bred for the first time at Berlin and also in the years following the species bred several times. This year also again. The species is kept only in very few zoos ( at least in Europe ) and breeding is even rarer.
 
On April 24 a Silver Leaf-monkey has been born at Berlin Zoo. Berlin had for a long period an all-female group but last year a male was introduced into the group. First the females behaved quite aggresive against the male but later on the relation between male and females became better as can be seen by the birth :)

1 Brown Capucine monkey

The German word for "Finch" is "Fink". I know this in particular because my potential future son-in-law has the last name of "Finch" -- so I tease him about this!
 
I love the fact that at times Google translate just gives up and skips words it can't be bothered to translate! :p
 
Using my rusty skills with German, a few attempts to fix the mistranslations, although of course where I have had to literally translate it might not tally with the english name....

why (from the list) does it appear that the South American section has cockatoos and rainbow lorikeets in it?
 
^Exactly, "Southamerican aviaries" is actually incorrect. Sorry about that, I didn't notice it at first: In the building this section is calles "Southamerica" and "Parrots". As far as I know, the Keas are the only parrots that live in a different section (Australia).
 
Article about the Giant anteater birth :

Giant Anteater Born at Zoo Berlin
10236_10151645225282557_1451534259_n

Zoo Berlin welcomed a baby Giant Anteater on May 26. The baby, named Evita by her keepers, is a female. The name was chosen because "E" is the fifth letter in the alphabet, and Evita is the fifth baby born to mother Griseline. Griseline arrived at the zoo 5 years ago, and Evita is her first baby at Zoo Berlin. Evita is being hand-fed by keepers and receives three additional bottle meals per day.

Evita was just 1570 grams, or 3.5 pounds, when she was born, but has now increased her weight to 2.5 kg, or 5.5 pounds. She's strong enough to ride on her mother's back — a behavior that is common in Giant Anteaters. Keepers, however, must keep a close eye on Evita since her coloration makes it difficult to distinguish her from her mother's fur.

Giant Anteaters are insectivors native to South America. As the name implies, their diets consist ants as well as other small insects. They use their strong claws to tear open termite mounds and anthills. Since Giant Anteaters have no teeth, their two-foot-long tounges and sticky saliva help them to extract the insects.
