Critically Endangered White Cheeked Gibbon Born at Adelaide Zoo

Adelaide Zoo is celebrating the birth of a critically endangered White Cheeked Gibbon baby, born Wednesday September 14.
The White Cheeked Gibbon is in decline in the wild due to deforestation and poaching for the wildlife trade, and this baby is very important to the genetic diversity of the captive population in the Australasian region.

Our Giant Panda introductions continue to progress well. Here are some photos from Day Two, which shows our Wang Wang and Funi getting along very well. There hasn't been a mating yet but signs are looking great :-)

It’s Panda Day at Adelaide Zoo today, with Wang Wang and Funi introduced for breeding purposes. The introductions are taking place in the off-limits area where the Giant Pandas can be closely monitored. The panda exhibit will remain closed during this time as it is important there is minimal disturbance to the pair.
