20230717_zia_c218_004 July 17, 2023: No armbands were necessary in London Zooâ??s nursery penguin pool this week, as 11 young Humboldt penguin chicks took to the water for their first swimming lesson...The chicks, named Kermit, Ron Burgundy, Stella, Piggy, Ernest, Cricket, Tiki, Ping, Pong, Sean and Karen, hatched on the zooâ??s iconic Penguin Beach during April and May and, after spending their first weeks tucked away in their cosy nest boxes, zookeepers stepped in this week to help the birds find their flippers in the conservation zooâ??s training pool...Penguin keeper Jessica Rae explained: â??Covered in soft, downy feathers, newly hatched chicks arenâ??t able to swim straight away, but at around 6-12 weeks old these fuzzy feathers are replaced by two layers of stiff, overlapping waterproof, black and white feathers â?? perfect for swimming...â??After tentatively inspecting the training pool, the chicks have started to test out the water this week; some were splashing around in no time, while others took a little longer to take the plunge.â?..Jessica added: â??Each of the chicks will approach swimming at their own pace, just like humans who learn to crawl and walk at slightly different times.â?..Humboldt penguins (Spheniscus humboldti) are native to coastal Peru and Chile and are excellent natural swimmers. Their paddle-like wings act as flippers, propelling them through the water as if theyâ??re flying...Jessica said â??Adult Humboldt penguins can reach up to 30 miles per hour in the water. These youngsters have some way to go, but weâ??re really pleased with the progress theyâ??re making so far.â?..Once strong enough, the 11 chicks will move to the conservation zooâ??s main penguin pool, where theyâ??ll join the colony of 76 Humboldt penguins...â??Itâ??s been great to see the chicks grow in confidence as their swimming ability improves,â? Jessica added. â??Theyâ??re almost ready t

Hidden cameras in the anteaterâ??s den captured the birth showing the baby born safely onto the ground before climbing onto mum only a few moments later..Experts say the pup will now cling to its mumâ??s back for around 10 months, where its matching stripe on its fur keeps it camouflaged, until it is ready to walk, explore and find food independently. Currently measuring in at around 60cm, giant anteaters can grow up to 2.1m (7 feet) in length. Born to Bliss (13) and Oso (nine), the pup is the result of an international conservation breeding programme working to protect endangered and at-risk species. Giant anteaters are listed as vulnerable to extinction by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) on the IUCN Red List, with numbers continuing to decline in the wild..David White, Team Manager in charge of caring for giant anteaters at the zoo, said: â??Mum Bliss is so far doing an excellent job of looking after her new arrival and seeing the baby clinging on tightly to her back is a really special sight. â??Giant anteaters are truly fascinating animals. Despite their large size when fully grown, they feed mostly on tiny insects and can devour up to 30,000 ants or termites in a day. This diet of little invertebrates means they donâ??t have any teeth. Instead they use their sticky tongues to feed â?? these can reach two metres in length and can extend and withdraw at up to 150 times per minute. For the time being though, the baby is feeding from mumâ??s milk â?? crawling to her underbelly to suckle before climbing back around to rest on her back.

20230413_zia_c218_030 April 13, 2023, Chester, Cheshire, United Kingdom: VIDEO AVAILABLE: CONTACT INFO@COVERMG.COM TO RECEIVE**..A rare baby giant anteater has been born at Chester Zoo..The yet-to-be-named youngster is only the third of its kind to be born at the zoo in its 92-year history. Hidden cameras in the anteaterâ??s den captured the birth showing the baby born safely onto the ground before climbing onto mum only a few moments later..Experts say the pup will now cling to its mumâ??s back for around 10 months, where its matching stripe on its fur keeps it camouflaged, until it is ready to walk, explore and find food independently. Currently measuring in at around 60cm, giant anteaters can grow up to 2.1m (7 feet) in length. Born to Bliss (13) and Oso (nine), the pup is the result of an international conservation breeding programme working to protect endangered and at-risk species. Giant anteaters are listed as vulnerable to extinction by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) on the IUCN Red List, with numbers continuing to decline in the wild..David White, Team Manager in charge of caring for giant anteaters at the zoo, said: â??Mum Bliss is so far doing an excellent job of looking after her new arrival and seeing the baby clinging on tightly to her back is a really special sight. â??Giant anteaters are truly fascinating animals. Despite their large size when fully grown, they feed mostly on tiny insects and can devour up to 30,000 ants or termites in a day. This diet of little invertebrates means they donâ??t have any teeth.
