An Edwards’s pheasant has hatched at Woodland Park Zoo, marking the first hatching of this species for the zoo. This pheasant is believed to be extinct in the wild.
The Edwards’s pheasant is rare in zoos with only 15 individuals living in seven zoos accredited by the Association of Zoos & Aquariums (AZA). Woodland Park Zoo has had the species in its collection since 2012.
“This is a very significant hatching for the species, particularly since its existence in the wild is questionable and there are so few living in zoos,” said Shawn Pedersen, a collection manager at Woodland Park Zoo. “As an extra precaution, our zookeepers are hand-rearing the chick to help ensure acceptable weight gains and closely monitor important milestones.”
Born April 4 to porcupine parents Molly and Oliver, 8-week-old Marty is quickly developing a healthy appetite and treats herself to leaves, twigs and bark throughout her exhibit.
The youngster has access all day and night to the North American porcupine exhibit in the zoo’s award-winning Northern Trail, and visitors are encouraged to pay her a visit.
Our zookeepers put long hours into incubating eggs, maintaining a warm, safe environment for those about to hatch. When they are lucky, they get to see the big payoff happen before their eyes!
Zookeepers are especially excited about this tiny addition, as it marks the first hatching of this critically endangered species at our zoo. And that’s even more important when you realize there are only 19 Indochinese box turtles in North American zoos in total! The hatching marks a triumph for a species struggling to survive in a world where almost 50% of known turtle species are listed as “Threatened.”
The littlest new addition to Woodland Park Zoo is a female North American porcupine, born April 4 in our Northern Trail exhibit. Porcupine babies, known as porcupettes (seriously), are born with a soft coat of quills that begin to harden within hours of birth. This immediately protects them from predators...and thick gloves immediately protect us from them! Our porcupette was born to Molly and Oliver, both 3-year-old residents of Northern Trail. This is their second offspring. The baby has access all day and night to the porcupine exhibit, but for now prefers to spend most of her time exploring in a den behind the scenes.
Guntur, the infamously over-protective otter dad, has finally let the newest pups take their first steps outside! The four pups—three girls and one boy born in January — have only had a few tiny adventures outdoors so far. Though they step out for only a few minutes at a time, the good news is that dad seems to be getting more comfortable each time. Keep in mind if you’re planning a visit that the otters’ time outside is still quite irregular. Though we provide outdoor access, it’s ultimately their choice whether to go out and how long to spend out there. We ask for your patience for a few more weeks as the family gets settled!
A trio of tiny Sumatran Tiger cubs has made their first public appearance at Chester Zoo. The four-week-old Tiger triplets were born on January 2nd but have just started to emerge from their den, as their proud mother starts to show them off. The cubs are the off-spring of eight-year-old ‘Kirana’ and seven-year-old dad ‘Fabi’.
The Alaska SeaLife Center is currently caring for a blind Harbor Seal. He was the last Harbor Seal pup rescue of 2014, after being found at Land’s End in Homer, AK. Because of his blindness, the pup, named ‘Bryce’, has been deemed non-releasable by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration-National Marine Fisheries Service. Veterinary staff believe he suffered head trauma that was the likely cause of his vision loss.
