Dresden Zoo celebrates: baby koala delights young and old!
What’s new from Dresden Zoo? A happy news that makes the hearts of animal lovers beat faster: On November 18, 2024, the female koala Eerin gave birth to a little koala girl. This rare event not only causes excitement among the zookeepers, but also attracts the attention of visitors. Since birth, the sweet baby koala stayed safe and secure in its mother's pouch, where it was warmed and fed. Now the young animal has grown and has left the pouch - a reason for joy for everyone who wants to stop by the zoo to admire the little creature. MDR reports that ...
As is usual with koalas, the baby does not yet have a name, but this could soon change. During one of the first sightings on October 3, 2023, the little animal was brave enough to stick its head out of the bag. Animal keepers and visitors are increasingly looking forward to seeing the baby, because small koalas are not only cute, but also crucial for the survival of their species.

The zoo will soon have another highlight to offer. In Schönbrunn, the baby koala, which comes from female koala Bunji, recently found a sponsor: the well-known tennis star Dominic Thiem, who not only has a heart for sport, but also for animals. Thiem, who was already the godfather of an anteater, took over his sponsorship after a victory at the US Open. During his visit to the zoo, he was even able to see and feed the baby koala up close. These sponsorships are important to support the care of the animals and to draw attention to how endangered koalas are in nature. Zoos.media reports that...
A baby koala is not just a cute creature, but a further step in the conservation of this fascinating species. The eucalyptus trees that these animals need are sometimes cultivated directly in the zoo or sourced from far away in order to meet their special nutritional needs.
The joy about the offspring of koalas at Dresden Zoo is great and the visit is worth it for all animal lovers. The little koala girl will spend the next few months excitingly with her parents and hopefully enchant many visitors!
