A protected species at all costs
The Lunaret Zoo spares no effort in the conservation of endangered species. Significant improvements have been made to enhance the habitat of the rhinos: expansion and landscaping of the enclosure, installation of a misting system, a wallow, and a dedicated area for calving. Everything is designed for the well-being of these majestic animals. Montpellier Mayor Michaël Delafosse praised this birth as a true reward for the efforts made by the zoo and its teams, according to our colleagues at France 3. The zoo has an annual budget of 1.5 million euros to ensure animal welfare.
A wave of births at Lunaret Zoo
The baby rhinoceros is not the only newborn at the zoo. Two other babies have also been born: a helmeted cassowary and a coendou. It seems that Lunaret Zoo just keeps growing!
