Baby seal born in Nuenen zoo
The Dierenrijk zoo in Nuenen welcomed a new resident - a baby seal was born to seal Dory, the zoo announced on Facebook on Friday.
This is the first seal to be born in the zoo in 10 years, according to the zoo. It is as yet impossible to determine the new baby's gender. Dory and her new offspring are currently being kept in a closed off section of their habitat.
The previous seal pup to be born in Dierenrijk was born to Doka, but unfortunately did not make it.
According to the zoo, some of its other inhabitants are also showing signs of pregnancy, including among the wolves, reindeer, skunks, beavers and foxes.
