Aye-aye Birth Corinne MacDonald, our Animal Care Supervisor of Primates tells us about one of the newest additions to the San Francisco Zoo The Aye-aye (Daubentonia madagascariensis) is a strepsirrhine native to Madagascar that combines rodent-like teeth with a long, thin middle finger to fill the same ecological niche as a woodpecker. It is the world's largest nocturnal primate, and is characterized by its unique method of finding food; it taps on trees to find grubs, then gnaws holes in the wood and inserts its elongated middle finger to pull the grubs out. - from Wikipedia For more information about the SF Zoo, visit the zoo's website: http://www.sfzoo.org To download full quality videos from the San Francisco Zoo, visit: http://www.vuze.com/channel/san_francisco_zoo Subscribe to our podcast with iTunes: http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=137501669&s=143441 Follow the zoo: http://twitter.com/sfzoo Tags: ayeaye baby animal wildlife little primate monkey sfzoo sfzoobehindthescenes sf zoo zookeeper |

Tiger Cub Preview LeAnne the Sumatran Tiger cub's mother, is just beginning to bring the three tiger cubs on exhibit. This is a quick preview, with the full video coming soon!

Saturday's health exam allowed Zoo staff to get their first up-close look at the triplets, and officially document that Leanne is a proud mom to three boys. During the first exam, the Zoo's veterinary staff checked the cubs' general health and weighed the trio. The biggest of the cubs weighs 4.8 pounds, with the two other siblings weighing 4.2 pounds each. In a few weeks the three boys will receive their vaccinations, similar to shots given to domestic kittens. The unnamed cubs will not be on exhibit for several months while they continue to nurse, gain strength and coordination. The cubs' father, George, can be seen at the Zoo's big cat grotto exhibits. "I was happy to see that all three boys have big bellies, indicating they are very well fed and cared for by their mom," said Jacqueline Jencek, DVM, chief of veterinary services at the San Francisco Zoo. Leanne, a 230-pound Sumatran tiger, has been caring for her three cubs since giving birth on March 6. The following day, the Zoo's veterinary and animal care staff visually confirmed the presence of at least one tiger cub through a video and audio monitoring system. A few days later, the staff confirmed two additional cubs when they inspected the nest box after Leanne momentarily left the birthing den for a drink of water. "After the second day of monitoring we were certain we had more than one cub, but we didn't want to disrupt Leanne and the maternal bond she was displaying," said Jencek. "Leanne has been excellent at tending to her litter and she has managed to keep them hidden from our camera, which had made it difficult for us to determine how many cubs really were in the nest box." This remains as a very critical period for mom and her cubs, the Zoo's veterinary staff has been very impressed with Leanne's motherly instincts. Through their daily video observations, staff has noted mom's behavior to be attentive and gentle. The mortality rate of Sumatran cubs in the wild and in captivity is between 30 and 40 percent, and is higher with first-time mothers. Leanne and George are part of the Zoo's breeding program for the purpose of increasing the genetic diversity of the Sumatran tiger population in zoos through the Association of Zoos and Aquariums' Tiger Species Survival Plan. This is the first litter for the 5-year-old mom and 10-year-old dad. There are more than 200 Sumatran tigers living in zoos around the world. The Sumatran tiger (Panthera tigris sumatrae) is the smallest of the tiger species. Sumatran tigers are critically endangered species, with an estimated 400 to 500 animals living in the wild, predominantly in national parks found on the Indonesian island of Sumatra.

Meet the Grizzlies! Hearst Grizzly Gulch opens June 14th, 2007. Ever since San Francisco Zoo keeper Deb Cano was a little girl, she was fascinated by animals. So much, that as a young girl, and even still today, her dad would call her "animal." Growing up just a few minutes away from the Zoo in Daly City, Cano developed a deep passion in caring for wildlife, as she surrounded herself with dogs, cats and horses. Her enthusiasm for animals would eventually lead her to a profession that she proudly describes as "my home away from home." Today, the veteran keeper is responsible for the care and health of the Zoo's polar bears, spectacled bears, Siberian and Sumatran tigers, snow leopards, fishing cats, ocelots, a river otter and our beloved grizzly bear sisters.
