Animal offspring
Beavers, chamois, ibexes: Baby alarm at the Alpine Zoo!
Spring is the time for baby animals: the Innsbruck Alpine Zoo is once again delighted to welcome some cute offspring. The ibexes, chamois and beavers were among those who recently gave birth.
The little ibex and chamois are already busy exploring their new home. Visitors can also observe the odd courageous leap from rock to rock.
The beavers, on the other hand, are much more relaxed at the moment. Here they spend most of the day cuddling with their offspring.
Lots of family time in the beaver lodge
"The mating season for beavers is between January and February. After around 106 days, three young are usually born. They are suckled by their mother for two to three months, but two weeks after birth they are already nibbling on plant stems and branches," says the Alpine Zoo.
The family life of beavers is very distinct. "They spend the day together in the beaver lodge. This is particularly important when temperatures are low so that the young animals don't get too cold and are warmed by the older animals," explain the zoo officials in conclusion.
