Zoo Leipzig unveils long-kept secret: "Secret Unveiled"

Zoo Leipzig Confirms Birth of Paca Offspring

Following months of anticipation, Zoo Leipzig has officially announced the arrival of a new paca offspring in their enclosure. The long-awaited birth, which marks the end of a multi-year drought, was confirmed by the zoo's veterinarian this week.

In a Facebook post shared on Wednesday, 21st May, the zoo shared a heartwarming photograph of the proud parents and their new addition. The mother, Crêpe, had previously triggered baby alarm bells within the zoo in 2023. Now, with Crêpe's second offspring stirring things up in the enclosure, there's a sense of excitement throughout the facility.

Initial suspicions among fans regarding the gender of the paca offspring have now been laid to rest. According to Zoo Leipzig, their three-month-old bundle of joy is a female, named Nike. Her active nature, particularly when playing with the white-nosed coatis, has already become a highlight for visitors.

The South America Experience World is currently an interesting destination, offering a unique opportunity to observe Nike and her family. The enclosure also features daily commentary sessions at 5 pm, providing valuable insights into this critically endangered species.

While there is no current information indicating the paca offspring's official endangered species status, it serves as a reminder of the importance of conservation efforts aimed at preserving these fascinating creatures. Zoo Leipzig remains committed to playing its part in this vital mission.

The heartwarming arrival of the paca offspring, Nike, at Zoo Leipzig, has sparked a surge of interest in their South America Experience World, especially due to Nike's playful interactions with white-nosed coatis. This addition to the zoo's pets section, along with their home-and-garden lifestyle, contributes to a diverse and engaging lifestyle experience for visitors.
