Small star in the zoo: Trusserspringer-Mofftier celebrates its premiere!

Kleve, Deutschland - kleve. The Kleve zoo has to report great news: the short -ear wrench jumper, a unique animal, is now also available as a soft toy! As niederrhein-nachrichten.de , the cooperation between the zoo and the Semo plush animal world has finally borne fruit. Now visitors can purchase the lovingly designed plush toy for only 7.90 euros in the zooshop. Martin Polotzek, the head of the zoo, emphasizes the high quality and sustainability of the product, which is made of recycled PET bottles and not only looks great, but also is environmentally friendly.

latest research knowledge

But that's not all! In a research project under the direction of Martin Polotzek and Prof. Franz Schwarzenberger, the reproductive cycle of the trunk jumpers was examined more closely. The results, published under the title "Non-Invasive Reproductive Monitoring in Round-Eeared Elephant Shrews" in the Zoological Garden Journal, show that female trunk jumpers have a shorter cycle and a higher hormone concentration if they are in contact with a male. This discovery could have an important effect on the breeding of this fascinating animal species, which is considered difficult, as zoogleve.de reports.

These groundbreaking knowledge could help to facilitate breeding from trunk jumpers and thus increase the number of these unique animals in human care. From now on, visitors have the opportunity to marvel at the living trunk jumpers Roswitha and Martin in the African rarium and to find out about the new findings from research. The Kleve zoo is open every day from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., a visit is worth it!
