Surprise for the care team: On April 15, a crowned lemur at Dresden Zoo gave birth. According to Dresden Zoo, there was no outward sign that she was pregnant. An increased body weight was initially interpreted as being slightly overweight.
"The cub was born without complications, and mother Amalia has been looking after her offspring very attentively so far," said the zoo. The tiny crowned lemur cubs themselves usually weigh between 60 and 70 grams at birth. Pictures show the offspring clinging to its mother and snuggling up tightly in her fur.
