Zoo news

The baby meerkats born at the end of July have emerged from their den and can now be seen in the enclosure. Their sex is not known yet.

Earlier this week, our 2 weeks-old giraffe calf Aurele took its first steps outside under the interested look of the adults who got introduced to the newborn of the group.

And now, exclusively for you, here is the video of Aurele’s birth and first steps.

Since last Thursday, our small herd of Rothschild’s giraffes (Giraffa Camelopardalis rothschildi) has a new member: Aurele, 58kg and first calf of 6-year-old mum Pauline, is doing well. This is the twenty-fifth giraffe birth at La Palmyre Zoo.
