CERCOPAN celebrates New Baby

Category: Uncategorized | Date: Jan 30 2009 | By: cercopan

Early last week we woke up to fantastic news…..Kemi, the adult female in our pre-release group had given birth! The group are currently living in a newly constructed enclosure awaiting formal consent to release them at our forest site. Clearly this new birth means that the release will need to be delayed a little, but we are not disheartened. The new baby is living proof that the group has successfully bonded and that the adult male and female will be able to successfully reproduce in the wild! We will keep you posted over the coming weeks on the baby’s

progress…

Fantastic news!! I can’t believe how big the baby is…I would have expected something very, very tiny. Congratulations to Ominaira and Kemi and to everyone at CERCOPAN who gave these precious animals a new lease on life to begin with :)

This is great news to start this year. Hope for more in the near future.
