FEATURE - Baby-Koala klammert sich im australischem Park an seine neue Schwester
A koala joey recently born at The Australian Reptile Park is clearly fond of her new big sister as she clings to her back.
The park welcomed its second koala joey born this breeding season.
Both born to Mum Irene, it was fitting Elsa’s little sister was to be named after the Disney Princess – Anna.
Staff at the Australian Reptile Park have happily welcomed the new arrival, incredibly excited for Elsa to have her very first baby sister.
Anna will be spotted coming out of the pouch more as each day passes, and eventually will become a crucial part of the Koala conservation breeding program at the Central Coast based wildlife sanctuary.
Resident Koala Whisperer and Australian Reptile Park Curator, Hayley Shute said, “After I hand raised Elsa myself as her second Mum, we all kept our eyes very closely on Irene to make sure she was going to be okay looking after little Anna and not face any issues. Thankfully, Anna is thriving with her Mum and growing up so fast!”
When born, Little Elsa was not getting the milk she needed due to her mother experiencing mastitis, which is imperative to her growth and chance of survival, forcing keepers and Hayley to intervene.
Thankfully, Hayley was able to tend to Elsa’s every need and helped her grow into the happy and healthy koala she is today. Thankfully, Irene has made a full recovery and has been successful in the birthing and raising of little Anna the koala joey.
“It was a very special moment being there when she popped her head out for the first time, I couldn’t contain my excitement and I made sure to run over and grab Elsa so she could meet her baby sister for the first time!” Hayley continued.
“Anna is estimated to be around 10 months old and is right on track as we can see her emerging from the pouch more and more. We will be keeping a close eye out on her to make sure she is growing up healthy alongside Ash the koala joey in the same koala yard and will keep bringing Elsa over for regular

A 12-day-old silvery gibbon baby clings onto mum, Tilu, in their new home at Chester Zoo
Chester Zoo unveils new home for endangered primates, Chester, Cheshire, Britain - 24 Jan 2016
FULL COPY: http://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/rvcr
Chester Zoo has unveiled a new home for some of the world?s most endangered primates.
The (3,607m sq) exhibit, part of 'Islands', the UK?s biggest ever zoological development, has been designed by the zoo?s primate keepers, conservationists and specialist architects from Germany. It is the new playground for the zoo?s group of seven Sumatran orangutans and three silvery gibbons ? including a 12-day-old newborn.
Conservation experts estimate that fewer than 6,500 Sumatran orangutans and less than 4,500 silvery gibbons are left in the wild. The zoo hopes the new area will put a major spotlight on issues such as habitat destruction, a threat which is pushing both species to the very edge of extinction.

Motorcycle drag racer clings onto back of competitor's bike after high-speed crash at the Santa Pod Raceway, Bedfordshire, Britain - 10 Sep 2014
*Full story: http://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/pedw
This is the dramatic moment a motorcycle drag racer had an incredible high-speed death-defying escape after clinging onto the back of his competitor's bike at almost 200mph. Greek racer Filippos Papfilippou narrowly escaped a fatal accident when he was catapulted off his bike and landed on the metal wheelie bars of the motorcycle in front of him. Thousands of spectators watched in horror as Papafilippou crossed the dragstrip's centre line and collided with British Top Fuel Bike opponent Steve Woollatt in the adjacent lane. Papafilippou, known as "Fast Fil" was thrown off his bike, but amazingly landed on the metal wheelie bars, which extend behind Woollatt's machine. He miraculously got his foot caught under the wheelie bar in a horrifying tangle as Woollatt's motorcycle hurtled 180 metres down the track at 170mph. But incredibly the Greek racer managed to avoid certain death by clinging for his life onto the back of the bike.

Papafilippou, known as "Fast Fil" was thrown off his bike, but amazingly landed on the metal wheelie bars, which extend behind Woollatt's machine. He miraculously got his foot caught under the wheelie bar in a horrifying tangle as Woollatt's motorcycle hurtled 180 metres down the track at 170mph. But incredibly the Greek racer managed to avoid certain death by clinging for his life onto the back of the bike.

Orangutan charity have called baby apes Will and Kate and hope they will one day meet to mate - 07 Feb 2013

Kate clings tightly to her mother, Kitty.
Baby Apes Named Will and Kate After Royal Visit
Baby Apes Named Will and Kate After Royal Visit
Two orangutans have been called Will and Kate in honour of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge after their visit to Borneo last year.
A twist to this charming story is that even though the two apes haven't yet met, it is hoped they will when they are released in to the same protected rainforest.
And like their Royal namesakes their rescuers hope they will start a love story of their own.
The orangutans were each born on a different one of the Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation's (BOSF) pre-release islands near the Nyaru Menteng Rescue and Reintroduction Centre in the Indonesian part of Borneo.
William aged three lives with his mother, Zena on Hampapak Island and Kate lives on Palas Island with her mum, Kitty.
On these pre-release islands, Zena and Kitty are going through the final stages of the BOS Foundation's rehabilitation programme, to ensure that they're completely able to fend for themselves, and their offspring, back in the wild.
Cared for by the BOSF with the help of funding from British charity, Orangutan Protection Foundation (OPF) - one day soon they'll all be released into a protected area of rainforest, to live completely wild and free.
William spends his days happily following his mother around his island home, learning which forest fruits are the best and tastiest and scouring cracks in the bark for termites - a great delicacy.
His mother has also been teaching him how to climb trees, how to build a nest and how to avoid the dangers which occur naturally in the forest.
In the same way, Kate - who's nearly four years old - has kept close to her mother, watching which foods Kitty has been selecting for her, and observing how her mother build...

Sink Or Swim For Baby Monkeys
It's a real case of sink or swim for these baby monkeys.
The tiny youngsters are seen holding onto their mothers for dear life as they get taken for a swim - whether they like it or not - in the search for food.
Wildlife photographer Dave Stevenson watched as the unwilling Japanese macaques got a dunking when their mothers dived to the bottom of a pool in Jigokundani, Japan.
The act left their children with a tricky choice - let go of mum or hold on tight and hold their breath.
Even after choosing to remain with their mother, the youngsters made every effort they could to stay above water.
Straining their necks and lifting their heads up high, some were able to avoid being totally submerged, while others weren't so fortunate.
Dave comments: "Their parents dive for grain at the bottom of the pool and the infants have a choice of waiting on the side or risking the water.
"Despite not liking being underwater much they cling on and get taken for a swim as a result".
They might dislike getting wet but these young monkeys will actually spend a lot of their lives in water.
Japanese macaques are also known as Snow Monkeys and during the winter months they are famous for spending much of the day keeping warm in the area's hot springs.
And when summer arrives they put their swimming skills to good use by fishing food from the bottom of water pools.
After a brisk swim it is time to dry out in the sun and have a passing neighbour groom you.
Meanwhile, after enduring their swimming lesson the young macaques are soon up to mischief when playtime begins.

'The Ape Crusaders' A book written and partly photographed by Sean Whyte, a campaigner on behalf of orangutan protection. The book takes the reader on a photographic journey throughout Borneo showing for the first time the highs and lows of frontline orangutan conservation in action, Indonesia - Dec 2011
FULL FEATURE: http://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/epef
Following the outcry of the mistreatment of orangutans at Malaysia's Melaka Zoo a book concentrates upon a small pro-active group of ape crusaders who are at the forefront of protecting orangutans.
The Ape Crusaders by Sean Whyte, who was instrumental in highlighting the conditions in the South-East Asian zoo takes the reader on an unrestrained photographic journey throughout Borneo showing for the first time the highs and lows of frontline orangutan conservation in action.
There have been 125,000 protected orangutans killed, captured or sold into the illegal wildlife trade over the past 40 years without a single prosecution.
Through no fault of its own the orangutan human's closest living relatives, will possibly become the first of the four remaining great apes to become extinct.
The Centre for Orangutan Protection (COP) started in 2007 and in less than four years has saved thousands of hectares of forest and rescued dozens of orangutans.

Orangutan and baby swining in the trees carrying bunches of banannas, Bukit Lawang, Sumatra, Indonesia - 21 Sep 2011
Mine, all mine! It would appear that this orangutan mother and her little baby are simply bananas about a certain fruit. The pair were spotted swinging through the trees in Bukit Lawang, Sumatra with their arms full of the soft treat. Apparently unhampered by the large bunches of bananas clutched in her hands and mouth the mother orangutan clambered skilfully up a tree, possibly looking for a comfortable spot where she could settle down to enjoy the treat. Following close behind was her young offspring, who clung on tight to mom for the climb. However, after successfully stealing a piece of fruit the youngster took to swinging from the branches with its prize clutched in its mouth.

Peek-A-Bug
This damselfly thought it had cleverly hidden itself behind a blade of grass at a British lake - but it failed to realise its eyes could be seen poking out either side.
The bright blue bug concealed its two-inch-long body and transparent wings by clinging onto the grass with its black legs.
But photographer Tony Flashman spotted the common blue damselfly's piercing eyes as he crawled around meadows at Fordwich Lakes, near Canterbury, Kent.
He had arrived at the lake at 5am to try and find the flies before they became too active at sunrise.
Tony said: "This little fly thought it was being clever by hiding behind the grass in a game of hide and seek but he didn't do a very good job.
"I could see his eyes peeking out from either side and its legs wrapped around the grass.
"It needs to move from the thin long grass to the reeds, where it will have a bit more cover."
He added: "This fly behaved himself and allowed me to get a good photograph but I had to get there early. As soon as it warms up they start to move around too much."

Cat stuck clinging to TV aerial after falling off roof, Long Stratton, Norfolk - 04 Jul 2011
This mischievous moggy found was left facing a cat-astrophe after slipping off the roof of a house and landing on a TV aerial. The curious cat was left clinging on to the aerial 20ft in the air for three hours after chasing a bird across the roof. Neighbour Peter Smith, 67, from Long Stratton, Norfolk, was woken by the sound of loud meowing and saw the scaredy cat when he opened his curtains. "My wife and I could hear this meowing that went on and on, so I looked out the window and was shocked to see a cat stuck on the aerial," he said. "It was next-door's cat and I think it must have been chasing a bird across the roof and fallen off. "It was very scared and clinging on for dear life as the aerial is quite flimsy. "We couldn't reach it out the window so I got my neighbour to help." Mr Smith's neighbour used a large ladder to reach his cat and the poor pet was brought down. "It was very shaken after the ordeal," added Mr Smith.

The cat clings to the TV aerial
Cat stuck clinging to TV aerial after falling off roof, Long Stratton, Norfolk - 04 Jul 2011
This mischievous moggy found was left facing a cat-astrophe after slipping off the roof of a house and landing on a TV aerial. The curious cat was left clinging on to the aerial 20ft in the air for three hours after chasing a bird across the roof. Neighbour Peter Smith, 67, from Long Stratton, Norfolk, was woken by the sound of loud meowing and saw the scaredy cat when he opened his curtains. "My wife and I could hear this meowing that went on and on, so I looked out the window and was shocked to see a cat stuck on the aerial," he said. "It was next-door's cat and I think it must have been chasing a bird across the roof and fallen off. "It was very scared and clinging on for dear life as the aerial is quite flimsy.

Baby Giant Anteater born at the Amazon World Zoo Park in Newchurch, Isle of Wight, Britain - 06 Jun 2010
MINI GIANT ZOO'S STAR ATTRACTION
A baby anteater is entertaining visitors at a zoo on the Isle of Wight as it clings to its mum's tail just days after being born.
The Giant Anteater, whose gender is not yet known, will cling to its mother for four months until it is ready to walk, explore and find food on its own.
The adorable mammal occasionally crawls onto its mum's front to feed at the Amazon World Zoo Park in Newchurch, Isle of Wight.
It measures just over one-foot long, weighs three pounds and is the first Giant Anteater to be born in the UK this year.
The baby will be named once keepers can get close enough to tell whether it is a boy or a girl.
It will be fed an adult diet of insects, eggs and beetle larvae when it reaches six months old.
Parents Ernst, six, and Kliene, four, arrived at Amazon World in 2005 and 2007 from Germany and became part of an international breeding programme.
They produced their first young, Ishak, in August 2008 and he has now moved to Aalborg Zoo, Denmark.
Once the newborn anteater reaches adulthood he will also leave the island to join a mate at another animal collection. Anteaters are a "near threatened" species.
Sian Sayers, from the zoo, said: "Kliene has been a really good mum and is doing a fine job looking after her youngster.
"She seems very proud of her newborn and has been parading around her enclosure showing him off to the visitors.
"He is clinging on tightly to her bushy tail and is so adorable.
"We can't tell yet whether it is a boy or girl. You have to get close enough to see and because they are doing so well we don't want to interfere.
"Kliene spends her day foraging for food and the little one spends most of his...
