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.
These eight baby hedgehogs lost their mother in a lawnmower accident and the newly born hoglets were in desperate need of milk and affection. Luckily, after searching around at Sadgorod Zoo in the Russian city of Vladivostok, the hoglets found an unlikely wet-nurse in Musya the cat, who still had milk from feeding foster kittens. Prior to their adoption, the baby hedgehogs refused to be fed from a bottle or syringe and still blind, and were beginning to starve. The zoo was left with little choice but to try putting the mammals together with a new mother.
This extremely cute little guy is a baby dik dik antelope named Thanos. Chester Zoo released footage of tiny Thanos on Thursday showing how zoo staff cared for the baby calf after the miniature animal tragically lost his mother not long after she gave birth. Staff members of Chester Zoo are taking care of the antelope and feeding him five times per day by hand. They will continue to hand feed the baby until it is able to feed itself independently. Thanos is just 7 inches tall and he's still getting accustomed to his surroundings. Dik dik antelopes are quite small in general, and grow to a maximum of around 16 inches high, 28 inches long, and about 13 pounds. The dik dik is native to eastern and southern Africa and is named after the alarm call of the females.
