Discovery of the dam deer: young animals surprise in the Munich zoo!

Tierpark Hellabrunn, München, Deutschland - Today, on June 4, 2025, there are exciting news from the Hellabrunn zoo in Munich. The zookeeper Janine Pülmanns reveals in the 161st episode of the program "Nashorn, Zebra and Co" of her experiences with the dam brains. During the filming, the joy of the birth of young animals was visible, which are difficult to discover in the dense wood of the enclosure. These small dam deer require special care and calm so that they can thrive well.

Pülmanns describes how exciting it is if instead of four dam deer suddenly five can be seen in the enclosure. The counting of the animals becomes a kind of gambling, since the young animals can often only be viewed after repeated checking. The deer get fresh grass every day, which not only promotes their health, but also stimulates the growth of their consecration.
