The Newest, Cutest Baby Animals from the World's Zoos & Aquariums
BIOPARC Valencia houses the largest group in Spain of the subspecies Pan troglodytes verus, critically endangered, and plays a crucial role in the European conservation program for this species. In addition, the BIOPARC Foundation collaborates with the Jane Goodall Institute in the preservation of this species in Africa. The "baby" was born in the early hours of the day, and the development is progressing very favorably.
The amazing moment a rare baby southern white rhino was born at West Midland Safari Park, has been caught on CCTV.
Keepers watching the live footage behind-the-scenes, saw the female calf arrive at 1:48am on 11 January 2024, following a tricky breach birth, for 15-year-old mum, Keyah.
After a few attempts, keepers noticed that the calf was struggling to get to her feet, so stepped in quickly to get her standing, enabling her to tentatively walk to her mum to have her first feed.
Now at a week old, the calf is doing really well and has been given the African name Malaika, meaning ‘angel’.

The first lion cub born at the Fort Worth Zoo since 2015
FORT WORTH, Texas – The Fort Worth Zoo is proud to announce the birth of a male lion cub; the first since 2015. The cub was born on Oct. 20, 2023 at 5:37 p.m. to mother Saba and father Jabulani. This is Saba’s first cub, so the name Moja (mow-jah), Swahili for the number “one,” seemed fitting. For the last few months, Moja has been behind the scenes growing and bonding with Mom, while keepers have kept a close eye on his development and wellbeing.
Sedgwick County Zoo excitedly welcomed a new member of the chimpanzee troop – a baby girl born August 20. Her name is Alizeti which means “sunflower” in Swahili.
Chimpanzee Chuckie gave birth in the presence of the troop during the early morning hours. The animal care team at SCZ observed mom and baby for a short time before coming to the conclusion that Chuckie was not exhibiting appropriate maternal behavior. In order to give Alizeti the best chance of survival, the team made the life-saving decision to remove her from the troop and provide human-assisted rearing during this first crucial stage of her development.
December 2023— This first litter represents a new success in the involvement of the Valencian park in an international project for the conservation of warthogs, a species included in the IUCN Red List.

Until January 7th, you can take advantage of the BIOPARC Wild Christmas proposal, with the double 'cause' promotion that allows you to choose between the child's entry or the annual child pass for €1.
