  • Baby Amur Leopard Cub, World's Rarest Big Cat, Born at Yalta Zoo

    Vets were hand-feeding the tiny Amur leopard baby at the Yalta Zoo, as the cub is still too young to open its eyes or even walk on four legs. Only 57 Amur leopards, which are listed as "Critically Endangered," are believed to live in the wild as of 2015. Despite the fact that Amur leopard numbers have roughly doubled since 2007, they are still the species of large felines most vulnerable to extinction.

  • Rare Newborn Blue-Eyed Black Lemur Raises Hopes to Save Species

    A rare female newborn blue-eyed black lemur, Ikopa, was moved to the La Palmyre Zoo nursery in Les Mathes, France to receive special care due to her fragility and low weight. Born on April 9, Ikopa continues to receive special care from her keepers, who feel her milk every two hours, as well as bits of fruits and vegetables. While Ikopa musters up enough strength to leave her incubators, her parents and older brother can maintain visual contact with her from their adjacent cage. Blue-eyed black lemurs, like all true lemurs can only be found on the African island nation of Madagascar and their numbers have drastically fallen. These primates are classified by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) as "critically endangered" because humans have cut down nearly all the forest areas which these animals call home to clear land for farming. It is believed that as few as 1,000 blue-eyed black lemurs remain in the wild.

  • Conjoined Twins with Two Heads and One Body Born in Gaza

    Doctors witnessed an extremely rare birth as conjoined twins were born in Gaza City's al-Shifa Medical Centre on Tuesday at 11:00 AM local time. The twins, whose gender has not yet been revealed, are the first such case in many years. They have two heads and two hearts, which beat simultaneously, but have one set of arms and legs. Due to their condition, the twins have a slim chance of surviving and are currently under intensive life support. Dr. Allam Abu Hamda, the head of the nursery at al-Shifa Medical, made clear just how rare this type of birth is. Although the condition is extremely rare, these twins are not the first set of conjoined siblings ever delivered in Gaza. Conjoined girls named Rital and Ritaj were born in the region on March 27 2010, but died shortly after being rushed to Saudi Arabia for specialist treatment. About half of conjoined twins are delivered stillborn, and the overall survival rate of is between 5 and 25 percent.

  • Adorable and Super Rare Black Jaguar Kitten Twins

    This scruffy and scrappy pair, two super rare black jaguar kittens which are rarely found in the wild, were born at the Nizhniy Novgorod zoo in Russia last month. Jaguars are solitary animals, so males only have contact with females during mating season and don't raise their own kids, leaving it up to their mom, Naomi, to take care of the parenting.
