Zoo celebrates birth of second pair of Sengi pups
Hertfordshire Zoo has welcomed the birth of a second pair of black and rufous sengi pups, adding to the zoo's status as home to most of the UK's population of these rare animals. The twins, born to parents Nuru and Mala, are the second set of pups from the pair, who previously had a successful litter in March. The zoo highlights the significance of the births for conservation efforts, as the species is critically endangered in the wild. The new arrivals, weighing just 30 grams at birth, have been cared for by their parents in a nest box.
