Seaworld Orlando has started taking care of an orphaned Sandhill Crane Chick.
However, at an estimated 3-4 days old at the time it was brought into SeaWorld’s care, it was simply too young to survive on its own. The chick was then paired with a rescued adult crane, in order to learn the specific crane behaviors essential for life in the wild.

Zoo Brno in the Czech Republic recently gave its 6 young Red Coati cubs a routine vet check.
The cubs received vaccinations and tiny microchips to identify them. The litter of young Coatis includes 4 males and 2 females. These South American members of the Raccoon family, known also as Brazilian Aardvarks, are active both day and night and prefer to sleep in elevated treetop nests.
Read more about these cubs here.
Enjoy :)
