The newborn baby prairie dogs have begun to be unveiled at the zoo in Shunan City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, and the lovely appearance is entertaining visitors.
The Tokuyama Zoo in Shunan City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, was closed for about a month and a half due to the effect of the new coronavirus, but in order to avoid crowding the visitors, we stopped events such as feeding experience for animals. We resumed business in late May.
Meanwhile, the announcement of two male and three female babies born in April between "Kou" and "Kew" of the Ogro prairie dog has started.
The baby prairie dog was energetically walking around the ground and burrows with unobtrusive gait and playing with his front paws to play with each other.
The children who visited were looking down at the adorable babies, who looked out of the burrows in an interesting way, and looked carefully at them.
A boy in the first grade of elementary school who visited from Hirao-machi said, "The baby was so cute and I was so happy to see it."
Mr. Juri Ouchi, a keeper, said, "There is a lot of dark news about the new coronavirus, but I want you to enjoy watching the movements of babies who can only be seen by children."
