For the first time a koala was born in a Dutch zoo. Anyone who wants to admire the beast in Ouwehands Zoo in Rhenen must be patient. For the time being it is still hiding in his mother’s pouch.
Since April 2024, Koalas can be seen in Ouwehands Zoo. They are the first koalas in the Netherlands. A koala woman who now stays in the park in the park in Rhenen is currently a baby koala in her pouch.
A number of mating attempts had been made, but until recently without success, the animal park writes. The last attempt was in April. The koala woman was then “no longer in a cycle”.
A koala gets a young after a short gestation period of 35 days. That young, which is blind and bare, then quickly moves to the pouch and clings to a nipple. The young, also called a Joey, develops further there. The Joey is not visible in the first months.
Ouwehands Zoo writes that the connoisseur can see that there is a young in the pouch of the Koala woman. For example, the curve of the pouch is visible and you sometimes see a clear movement. It is expected that the young will put his or her cup out in a few months.
The animal park expects the young to be admired at the end of the year.
