Budapest Zoo & Botanical Garden
After the gorilla baby, born in January, the orangutans have a newborn, too. The little one was born on April 4, but we cannot see a lot of the baby yet. The keepers, however, have already spied that the newcomer is a baby girl. For that matter, it has been ten years since the last time an orangutan was born in Budapest.
Since January 14, the public may visit the one and a half weeks old gorilla baby born on January 5. For the peace of the newborn and mother, no visitors were allowed in the Apes’ House in the last few days. Even among the staff of the Zoo, only designated workers could enter the animal house. Both the baby and mother are healthy, and the little one is developing well. Hence, there are no obstacles to reopening the Apes’ House.

As reported in the written and electronic media and on our website, we are renovating our Great Lake, the Rock Garden, the Buffalo House and the Giraffe House. The renovation requires construction work that may cause temporary inconveniences for our visitors. However, we are committed to provide the public with the same experience and ensure that the species affected by the construction may be viewed at other locations of the Zoo. |
