Dubai Safari Park welcomed three newborns earlier this year as part of its endangered species breeding programme.
The twin moon bears, also known as Asiatic Black Bears, and male white rhino were born on January 23 and June 21 respectively. Parents and babies are thriving under the watchful eyes of the highly trained zoologists, the park has reported.
With moon bears classified as vulnerable and white rhinos listed as near threatened by The International Union for Conservation of Nature, this milestone highlights the park’s broader commitment to conserving endangered species and creating a safe environment where they can flourish.
Over the past four years alone, Dubai Safari Park has welcomed the birth of 1,214 animals from 87 species.
Dubai Safari Park opened its gates last month, offering everyone the chance to see the adorable newborns and over 3,000 other animals who inhabit this vast green oasis.
Raising awareness about the endangered status of these and other species whilst emphasising the importance of global efforts to increase their populations is an important part of Dubai Safari Park’s edutainment experience.
