Meaning jungtier inspires zoo visitors in Kleve!

in Kleve, the male family has expanded to include another member. A young animal saw the light of day on September 7th. Tiergarten director Martin Polotzek is pleased with the newcomer and explains that the animal lovers now have the chance to observe the young animal in the outdoor area during the autumn holidays.

The little meerkat was born blind and deaf and spent the first weeks of life in the protected throw cave, as is typical for meerkats. Every week it becomes braver and dares to interact with his parents and siblings more. In the Kleve Tiergarten, the animal does not remain alone because the offspring grow up in a complex social structure, which includes up to 30 animals, in which only the dominant female is responsible for reproduction.

social behavior of the meerkats

The meerkats that originally come from southern Africa live in family groups in which a strong community elevator system applies. The other group members who have no offspring support animal care and help with the young animals. During growing up, they are suppressed by pheromones in their reproduction, which leads to a stable environment for the boys.

Martin Polotzek emphasizes the positive development of the meerkats in the Klever Tiergarten. Last year's young animals who were born in June are now also involved in the rearing of the new sibling and thus contribute to the harmonious coexistence within the group. This enables visitors to be able to observe how these social animals support each other.

The autumn holidays are an exciting time for visitors to the Klever Tiergarten. In addition to the opportunity to see the new meerkat, guests can also get to know Carlo sloth. There are also interesting events all year round, and in the autumn holidays there are free backstage guides every day, which offer visitors a closer insight into animal care and the background of the facility.

For garden fans there is also another reason for anticipation: the pre -sale for the popular Halloweenfest has already started. On October 31, the zoo will be open for creepy activities from 5:15 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Tickets are available at the Tiergartenkasse and in the online shop, which gives visitors the opportunity to immerse yourself in the autumn mood.

Overall, the Klever Tiergarten is a contact point for families and animal lovers who want to experience both the new meerkat and other animals such as sloths. These special experiences in connection with the social behavior of the meerkats help to strengthen awareness of these fascinating animals and their way of life.
