Animal baby party at the Erfurt zoo: twin kattas and first flamingo chicks!

Erfurt, Deutschland - In the Erfurt zoo, the animal baby party is in full swing! Katta-Dine Kamila recently gave birth to two sweet twins who are now conquering life in the zoo. The enclosure, which was set up for the "small family", is only part of the 63 hectare area, which houses over 1,000 animals. As [thueringen24.de] (https://www.thueringen24.de/erfurt/article300520195/zoo-erfurt- afternoon-katta-katta-flamingos-schluepfen.html), visitors are now seeing an exciting time, because the big hatch begins.

Particularly exciting for animal lovers: The first five chicks of the pink flamingos have already slipped! More eggs are still in the sand nests, and we can look forward to more offspring at any time. If you want, you may even be able to see how the little chicks see the light of day. The Flamingo colony currently consists of 42 adult animals, and up to 14 young animals are expected in the coming weeks. [My Stuttgart] (https://mein-stuttgart.com/goeppingen/suessen/tierbaby-party-party-ko-erfurt-Zwillinge- and-flamingo-kueken) emphasizes that the breeding sites of the flamingos ensure a unique setting, but also lead to increased stress and volume can.

The first steps of the chicks

The chicks have a short, straight beak and strong legs, their development is impressive. After 4 to 7 days you leave the nest and after about 65 to 90 days you can fly. An important detail: the chicks are fed with goiter milk, which has a striking red color. This not only ensures your survival, but also helps you soon accept the typical pink color that makes flamingos famous. This ultimately reaches its full spectrum between the age of 2 and 3, such as Freizeitpark-erlebnis.de.

In order to inspire the excited visitors even more, the zoo offers exciting insights into the reproduction and breeding of these fascinating animals. The zooirection is confident and emphasized that even more chicks will see the light of day in the next few weeks. We only have to wish that many families and animal lovers take the opportunity to experience these exciting events on site.
