This baby wolverine was discovered in a box of oranges in April, abandoned by some unknown stranger, with no parents in sight and in very poor health. Zookeepers at the Novosibirsk zoo nursed her back to health and gave her plenty of love, leading to a full recovery for the wolverine they called Nor. Now the one-year-old wolverine cub called Nor can be found prancing around happily at Novosibirsk Zoo, full of life and energy.
A hungry and scared orphan elk calf wandered into a backyard of some residents in the Russian town of Bogotolski, who then alerted authorities. Footage released by Bogotolski police department on Thursday shows the moments when local police helped staff from the Ministry of Environmental Protection deliver the jittered critter to his new home at the Krasnoyarsk Zoo. The baby elk was named Nad and seems to be loving his new home.
Elza the puppy and Astra the lion cub became best friends after being introduced to each other by zookeepers at the Sadgorod Zoo in Russia's Vladivostok to help Astra socialize. Now the two young animals are basically inseparable, spending nearly every waking moment playing and hanging out together. It turns out that the two-month-old girls have quite a bit in common. Besides being roughly the same size and having a similar color fur, the two were born on the same day, sleep on the same pillow, and even eat out of the same food tray.
A newborn leopard cub has found an unlikely wet nurse in a golden retriever called Tessy at Sadgorod Zoo in Vladivostok, after he was separated from its mother by zookeepers. Zoo staff said that the leopard's mother has a history of maltreating her cubs, which led to the separate the cub from his birth mom. Although zookeepers attempted to bottle feed the cub in the beginning, they soon found an unlikely candidate to take over providing nourishment for little feline.
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.
