Novosibirsk zoo R. A. awl showed newborn Himalayan bear cubs: a female Chelsea with two cubs was transferred to available for visitors to the aviary.
“Transfer to another aviary a little alarmed cubs. They stay close to the mother, carefully looking around and sniffing. But biologists at the zoo say that to a new place our Himalayan black bears will get used to it quickly, and then start running on logs, somersaults and monitoring of visitors”, – told in the Novosibirsk zoo.
Three cubs were born in January, but how many young gave birth to Chelsea, the zoo staff initially could only guess.
“The first two months of life the cubs never left the shelter, the bear also came out rare. In March the kids first showed up on the street. The first of the warm home wanted to go out, probably the bravest of them. Later his example was followed by two other bear. When the veterinary doctors conducted the first survey of the cubs, they have identified their gender: two boys and a girl,” – said in a zoo.
According to animal science Department of predatory animals by Svetlana Vorobyeva, the first walk of the Himalayan cubs were very short. Kids were on the street exactly as much time as needed the bear to eat. But over time, walking the cubs became longer.
“Now they long walk, eating porridge, actively playing. Each bear on the chest is a characteristic species mark – white line, curved like a Crescent moon. Therefore, the Himalaya bear called the moon bear. When cubs are born, they are covered with a grayish-white fuzz. It is gradually replaced by black fur, and a spot on the chest is bright, bright,” – said Svetlana Vorobyeva.
