A second Chinese pangolin has been born in the Prague zoo, marking a significant milestone in conservation efforts for this critically endangered species. The female pangolin was born on July 1, weighing just 141 grams but showing promising growth, gaining about 10 grams daily. She is expected to reach 250 grams by the end of the week, with adult pangolins reaching up to 6.8 kilograms.
This birth comes less than two years after the first Chinese pangolin, named Cone, was born in captivity in Europe. The successful breeding of these pangolins is a testament to the dedication and expertise of the zoo staff.
