The number of babies born this spring in the Feldman Ecopark increases. This time, the family of Bennett\u2019s tree-kangaroos gave birth to the charming kid \u2013 a healthy baby full of strength and energy.<\/p>\n
\u201cA couple \u2013 Ashley and John \u2013 gave birth to a baby in the beginning of March. Only recently the kid started to show itself from the mother\u2019s pouch. It is still a little shy, and never leaves the parents. Almost all the time it is in the mother\u2019s pouch, and eats only the mother\u2019s milk. But thanks to the wonderful weather, the family walks around the spacious enclosure all the time. That is why, everyone is able to see them and share or joy!\u201d the Feldman Ecopark deputy director of zootechnic issues Valeriia Ivashchenko told.<\/p>\n
It is too soon to speak about the future of a baby \u2013 whether it will stay in the Ecopark or will find home in the other zoos, the specialists say. It must get stronger, and learn how to eat and take good care of itself.<\/p>\n
Reference: Bennett\u2019s tree-kangaroo is a striking representative of kangaroo family. In the nature, this species lives only in Australia, on Cape York Peninsula. Bennett\u2019s tree-kangaroos populate the closed and humid rainforest, including the one with climbers, and the gallery forest at a height from 0 to 1,400 m above-sea level. They prefer nocturnalism.<\/p>\n
It should be reminded that over 2,000 animals, including 6 Bennett\u2019s tree-kangaroos, lives on the territory of the Regional Landscape Park.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
