<\/a>Polar bears are especially fond of thin layers of snow and freezing temperatures. Friida fumbles with the top of a thick spruce or snuggles in the snowy hollow of tree, her favourite toys within reach of her paws.<\/p>\nA crisp Thursday saw an Amur cat sitting on a stump. However, the manuls, who had overcome their hectic mating period, huddled like round balls of fur in different corners of their enclosure. In the hyena complex, young striped hyenas can now be seen sniffing the spring.<\/p>\n<\/a>Rasp, too, likes to tug at the spruce, but right now he\u2019s wandering along the enclosure in a huff. He is not pleased: Friida is close, but they won\u2019t be getting together this year. Hopefully, the species coordinator will be able to find Rasp a young mate with worthy genes.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/a>Despite the inclement weather, the happy couple is incubating an egg laid on 3 March in the nest in their enclosure. On Kullim\u00e4e, the male vulture went to a great deal of trouble and built a grand nest on a shelf. Despite his efforts, the female laid her eggs on the sand of the enclosure and began to incubate them there. Our only 19-year-old Bald eagle also laid its first egg.<\/p>\n<\/a> <\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>In the hyena complex, young striped hyenas can now be seen sniffing the spring. Some of the mares were big-bellied in appearance \u2013 let\u2019s hope that their meeting last spring with the stallion did not go to waste.<\/p>\n<\/a>Milu bulls, with their mighty hairy horns, ate sprouting blades of grass on the day the herd was let out to pasture. The European robin is singing, even the Eurasian chaffinch, which returned from its migration some time ago, has opened its beak to join in. Low-flying flocks of brent geese and grey geese take feeding breaks in the zoo\u2019s meadows, offering the pleasure of discovery.<\/p>\n<\/a>In the Pachyderm House, the Caspian whipsnake moved into a new terrarium. In the Tropical Houses, tiny shimmering green kubotai rasbora (Microrasbora kubotai<\/em>) were released into the freshwater biota aquarium.<\/p>\n<\/a>On Easter Sunday, two pups from the second harvest mouse litter emerged from a woven bird-like straw nest in a wildlife class terrarium at the nature school. Since the transition to daylight saving time, the children\u2019s zoo is open one hour longer.<\/p>\n
