The Feldman Ecopark’s hoofed animals have a replenishment: the newborns appeared in zebu’s family and in a family of St. Jacob’s Sheep. In a family of zebu (the subspecies of a wild bull is disseminated in the territory of India and is characterized by existence of a big hump on a nape sometimes trimmed with wool along the edges and skin folds between forelegs) one calf appeared, and in a family of St. Jacob’s Sheep (unique four-horned animals with two horns like a ram and two horns like a goat are widespread in Great Britain as a decorative breed) – 4 lambs (three boys and one girl) was born.
“All newborns feel well, the Ecopark’s veterinarians didn’t find any problems with their health. Now they live in open enclosures together with their mothers and eat milk – they don’t need any other nutrition yet — the Feldman Ecopark’s deputy director Valeriia Ivashchenko told. – For some time the St. Jacob’s lambs will please small visitors Feldman Ecopark on the Contact Yard where it is possible to communicate and to get closely acquainted with them”.
After zebu and sheep grow up, they, perhaps, will move to other zoos within the animal exchange programs because these species are widespread in the Feldman Ecopark. Both the zebu and St. Jacob’s sheep breed in the Regional Landscape Park every year.
It should be reminded that the Feldman Ecopark’s hoofed babyboom has traditionally begun at the end of January – the beginning of February. The first Cameroon goats, decorative and sokolskaya sheep gave birth to cubs.
